Public Health
Students enrolled on these eligible Masters programmes
become members of the Global Health Academy community which encourages both
intra- and inter-disciplinary engagement and communication.
The Global Health Academy initiative cuts across the
traditional vertical health structures moving to novel integrated health
systems training. Our aim is to promote a global community of practice where
students can access multiple strands of knowledge from many different experts
to tackle some of the biggest challenges in the 21st century.
For example, non-communicable diseases are changing the face
of African, Asian and Latin American health and healthcare and require not just
disease specialists but experts in logistics, in training and policy and in
technologies especially, e- and m-health, in order to create stronger community
health. Students taking these courses find them rewarding in the opportunity
they present to engage with professionals from industry, medicine, policy and
research.

first apply for one of the five eligible programmes and have received
an offer from the University of Edinburgh before applying for the
scholarship. The closing date for scholarship applications is 20th
