Master's Programme in Global Health

You will learn about poverty-related health problems and interventions, and gain research skills and tools to address these in a fair and equitable manner. The student will be qualified to identify and critically analyse key factors shaping the health and well-being of populations in low and middle-income countries, and to formulate effective and appropriate responses to complicated health related issues.

The master’s degree in global health will qualify for positions in academia, in international organizations and in public administration. The possibilities are particularly good for candidates from low and middle-income countries, both at national universities, on international projects, in international NGOs and health leadership. Our Norwegian candidates are eligible for positions in health education at university college level, in NGOs and increasingly in health services for asylum seekers and refugees.

Our alumni have found employment in very different settings, but the one thing they highlight is how the program equipped them with a broad range of working skills and a solid theoretical foundation. This makes them valuable employees and colleagues.
