The postgraduate Master’s programme in International Health (MSc IH) is conducted by the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine - Teaching and Training Unit (T&TU) and the CIH LMU Center for International Health.
The MSc programme focuses on health-related challenges in low- and middle-income settings. The interdisciplinary approach aims to provide students with knowledge in international and global health, covering global public health, infectious and non-communicable diseases, chronic diseases, health economy, and politics. Furthermore, students will be trained in research methods and skills in order to conduct research for their MSc theses.
With international participants and small groups, individual guidance will be provided. Lectures take place in the beautiful city of Munich.
During the advanced part of their studies, students may take part in modules across the globe by the tropEd network and/or select from a wide range of modules offered by the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine at the University Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
The MSc IH may be combined with the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and International Health (DTMIH). Please visit our website for further information and contact us if you are interested in this option.
