Applicants with an appropriate technical qualification and work experience, or equivalent qualifications, are also welcomed. An interdisciplinary approach is emphasised which takes account of the social, political and economic context in which health systems operate. A typical selection of units is given below, not all units will be available in any one year.
Students choose one unit from each timetable slot.
Some units can be taken only after consultation with the Course Organisers. After obtaining a BSc from the University of Winnipeg, and working as a nurse manager after my B.N. from the University of Manitoba, I worked in the areas of aquatic physiology and human platelet physiology. After that I knew I wanted to pursue work in tropical diseases and development. Whilst in Ghana, I read about the School with its great reputation in research and leadership in tropical medicine. The past year has been challenging but rewarding not least because of meeting people from around the world with the same drive to learn more.
