What you will study

Across the world, and especially in low and middle-income countries, most people who have mental health problems are not supported by trained professionals, or able to access evidence-based treatments. Global mental health is about changing that situation – investigating the needs of people in different settings and formulating the most locally appropriate and feasible way to better support them. You will learn how to develop policies, systems, services and clinical interventions as well as epidemiological and other research methods used to evaluate services and interventions.
