School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health (Master Courses)

In April 2015, School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health was newly established.

The School consists of three master courses;

Tropical Medicine Course (Master of Tropical Medicine) provides the medical doctors with clinical knowledge and academic research skill to respond to health issues in the area of tropical medicine. (one year)

International Health Development Course (Master of Public Health) equips the students with essential knowledge and skills required to pursue careers in international health. (two years)

Health Innovation Course (Master of Science in Global Health and Medicine) gives opportunities of basic research skills to prepare for pursuing higher academic careers in global health research. (two years)The latter two courses are open to those who have no medical/ health background.

One of the strengths is that the students of all three courses will learn together in the basic modules on global health so that they will have opportunities to understand the issues in wider perspectives than their own disciplines.

Other characteristics include the whole learning is conducted in English and the academic partnership of teaching and research with London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, a leading global institute of tropical medicine.
