These include: addressing global health inequalities through workforce development; leadership in health systems improvements; facilitating universal health coverage; promoting gender equity; and creating meaningful partnerships for global health. The programmes are underpinned by LSTM’s mission of decreasing the global disease burden through research, education and building capacity. The programmes also contribute towards building skills and competencies of organisations and individuals working in the global health sector. Graduates will develop high-level transferable knowledge, intellectual and practical skills, enabling them to take a leadership role in providing technical support and addressing the social determinants of health. Graduates will be able to work with diverse populations and in a wide range of settings. The programmes’ competency-based curriculum was developed following close consultation with employers and key stakeholders, a review of global health competencies from renowned global health agencies and informed by evidence from global health employers to ensure relevancy and graduate employability. The MSc, PGDip and PGCert programmes cover a wide range of global health topics that provide graduates with key analytical, technical and practical skills for working in a diverse global world. Our Online Learning Model Research-informed discussions are at the core of our online learning model, offering a rich and dynamic learning experience. The tutors are global health experts who are the heart of LSTM’s world-class research. The MSc in Global Health is designed around principles of active engagement, meaning lots of opportunities for tutor and student interaction. Learners engage with a variety of activities, many collaborative, which encourage dialogue and engagement in real-world problem-solving. At the centre of the learning experience is LSTM’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Brightspace, which is used to host engaging learning materials such as video-based lectures and facilitate formal learning activities such as online discussion and live virtual classroom sessions. Alongside Brightspace, there is the opportunity to develop valuable skills in technologies used in the workplace such as Microsoft Teams which enables learners to communicate and collaborate effectively.

Dr Martha Chinouya - Director of Studies for MSc Global Health I have always yearned for competencies that will bring universal health coverage closer to people in my country. With LSTM’s programme on Global Health, I now have the opportunity to build those competencies and skills with the carefully framed curriculum and guided by a set of amiable tutors on the programme. It’s simply amazing being part of the Global Health programme. Another first by LSTM!!! Nuphi James Yashiyi, Nigeria I joined LSTM's global health course because I want to make an impact in the world by preventing and eradicating present and future health concerns that transcends national boundaries. Global health threats (such as climate change) have unavoidably been a great concern to major stakeholders, countries and international organisations & bodies, hence the importance and rising need of global health professionals. Chioma Mbonu, Nigeria My enrolment at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for a Postgraduate Diploma in Global Health is welcoming news for me to develop my skills for research work in the health sector. I believe that by taking up this programme, my passion for research work will be sharpened and be equipped with the necessary skills to live my dream as a professional researcher to contribute positively to Global health issues. Priscilla Ocran, Ghana I was convinced by a well-designed curriculum which I later learnt was done in close consultation with employers, experts and stakeholders from global health agencies. Silvestre Suh, Cameroon I joined the Global health programme to strengthen my capacity in global health as well as to build new networks with multiple actors working in this area and to develop my academic communication skills.
