COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Global Master of Public Health from Imperial College London is a highly respected online Master’s degree programme from one of the top 10 universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2023). As a Global MPH student, you’ll study biostatistics, epidemiology, health systems, health economics, population health improvement, and more, while honing your research skills by exploring issues affecting your own community.

The postgraduate programme’s curriculum is rooted in evidence-based research skills. You’ll learn from faculty who are shaping global policy, such as researchers who led the fight against the Ebola virus. Awarded University of the Year 2022 (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide), Imperial College London is committed to improving public health for people throughout the world. Imperial has recently been recognised as having a greater proportion of 4* “world-leading” research than any other UK university and ranks top in the UK overall, according to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.

Global MPH students build strong portfolios while creating projects which model the tasks they will be asked to do as they move forward in their careers, as well as having the opportunity to develop work which can be submitted to peer-reviewed journals. They also learn practical quantitative and qualitative research skills that help evaluate the public health research and policy of their peers. In previous years, students have had the opportunity to engage with experts in various public health fields at the World Health Organisation in Geneva.

As this is a new degree online, there have not yet been any graduates of the programme. However, the School of Public Health also offers a highly successful and established on-campus MPH, taught full time at our St Mary’s Campus over one academic year. Graduates of this programme have gone into leadership roles in academia, government, industry and non-governmental organisations such as the Gates Foundation, the United Nations, and the World Health Organisation.
