This course is taught jointly by the Centre for Development Studies and the Department of Public Health.

It has been designed to provide students with an understanding of comprehensive primary health care as it applies in the developing world in relation to an understanding of the philosophical, theoretical and empirical issues of international development.

It articulates with the University's Graduate Certificate in Health and Graduate Diploma in International Development or their equivalent, and credit may also be awarded for prior learning gained in industry.

The course provides critical insights into the social, political and cultural processes and the institutional contexts that shape health and development issues, research, policy and practice. It aims to develop highly skilled specialists to better plan, develop, manage and evaluate and implement health initiatives and programs.

The full program of study is set out in the Course rule and topic descriptions for this degree.
