Global Health (Health Systems) - MSc

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

Health systems are the foundation for delivering essential health services in an effective, efficient and equitable way for all. However, health systems are also complex, political, and constantly under pressure. In this MSc Global Health pathway, you’ll develop the skills to understand how health systems work, why they succeed or struggle, and what can be done to strengthen them. You’ll dig into the big questions: Who funds and who governs health systems? How can they be made more accountable, inclusive, and resilient? What happens when systems face conflict, climate shocks, or forced displacement, and what needs to be done in the wake of these crises?
