Overview

Aimed at both those new to the humanitarian sector and professionals who want to update their skills, our course offers a practical means of study and an inclusive approach which mirrors the reality of interventions within a humanitarian context.

You will explore issues related to the worldwide improvement of health, the reduction of disparities, protection against global threats that disregard national borders, and specialise in Emergency Medical Response.

The Global Health (Emergency Medical Response) programme offered by The University of Manchester is unique in bringing together the study of emergency medicine, disaster management, community health, anthropology and sociology of health and illness in an online format.
