By undertaking the Master of Global Health/Master of Health Leadership and Management (Extension) you will specialise in both global health and health management and complete a research project in health management. The double degree meets a well-recognised need to strengthen public health, health leadership and health management capacities within resource-constrained settings in international and global contexts.

The Master of Global Health enables graduates to seek employment with international aid organisations, while the Master of Health Leadership and Management (Extension) provides the knowledge and skills for senior managerial roles in health service delivery. With both degrees, you'll gain specialised knowledge to work internationally in health departments, with non-government organisations (NGOs), and with international and bilateral aid agencies. You will be able to apply your advanced skills in public health and health management to a broad range of highly complex population health issues in international settings.

This double degree is for students and practitioners who are keen on a rewarding role or career with international aid organisations.
