Course Summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in Global Health Research is a part-time taught programme, delivered entirely online over four terms (14 months). The course is designed for those involved in the funding, design, delivery or regulation of research in global health. It will equip students with a thorough understanding of the steps and processes required to conduct high quality and ethically framed studies within the contextual realities of resource constrained settings.

This programme is a postgraduate course for professionals who are able to learn from the programme and add value to the learning experience of all participants by sharing their own practical experiences. Accordingly, this programme is designed for learners who are able to reflect on and learn from their own experiences.

We welcome students diverse in gender, geography, academic and professional backgrounds. All of this will provide a variety of perspectives and approaches which will enrich the learning environment.

The postgraduate diploma is very different from all other courses for two key reasons:

Firstly, it refers entirely to health issues specific to diseases of poverty in low-resource countries.

Secondly, this is an operational and highly applied course that covers the steps needed to set up studies across all types of health research, including and importantly beyond clinical trials.
