Health Policy at Imperial College London

Please note, we plan to deliver our Health Policy courses in a multi-mode format, meaning a combination of on-campus (in-person)  teaching and remote (online) teaching.

If this does happen, applicants will be contacted, explained any changes to the programme structure and offered the opportunity to consider their application. Find out more about how we will tell you about changes.

Our courses in Health Policy offer you the chance to learn about important aspects of health policy from leading international academics and practitioners.

Through a blended model of online and face to face teaching coupled with personal study, you will acquire a detailed theoretical and practical understanding of health policy. We will introduce you to both quantitative and qualitative research techniques that will enable you to carry out original studies.

You will also develop the ability to critique existing and emerging health policy on the basis of evidence and knowledge.

In addition, you will gain a comparative perspective that enables you to consider the challenges affecting different regions and countries, as well as alternative potential responses to them. You will also have the opportunity to network with international peers.

The courses are aimed at those already working in the health sector. You will acquire a detailed theoretical and practical understanding of health policy, with a view to improving the quality of such policy, both within the UK and internationally.

Our MSc in Health Policy is delivered by the Institute of Global Health Innovation.
