MSc in Global Challenges
This modular online programme cuts across traditions of science, medicine and social science.
We are living in an increasingly complex, often contradictory, fast changing world.
Globalisation is creating new relationships between economies, societies and environments, and this holds both promises and risks.
Understanding complex relationships
To untangle these increasingly complex relationships we need to ensure that people are trained to identify, analyse and engage with:
- systems approaches
- multidisciplinary perspectives
- complicated policy environments
Flexible, modular programme
The MSc in Global Challenges is a modular programme of study that will equip students with the knowledge and analytical tools to make a contribution to a future shaped by issues that cut across traditions of science, medicine and social science.
It will draw on the University of Edinburgh's best research and teaching to deliver a degree programme that is flexible, challenging and cutting-edge in content, delivery and ambition.
The MSc in Global Challenges is currently pending formal approval.
