New Delhi, 14 April 2025: University of East Anglia, one of the UK’s top 30 universities, today announced its new MSc in Global Public Health programme commencing in September 2025. This is a full-time, one-year postgraduate programme designed to prepare the next generation of public health professionals to address urgent global public health challenges through evidence-based policy and interdisciplinary practice.

MSc Global Public Health is ideal for graduates who are passionate about health outcomes worldwide. Located in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the programme uniquely blends public health principles and practice, with insights from international development, and environmental science. Students will dive deep into global public health case studies, apply cutting-edge research, and explore key themes such as health equity, migration, and the impact of climate change on public health.

The curriculum replaces the standard dissertation with an innovative Extended Project, focusing on applied learning and real-world impact to elevate students’ employability.

Alongside academics and professionals from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, students will also benefit from access to UEA’s world-class research centres, including the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and the Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development.
