MAS International Health (MAS IH)
Overview
The Master of Advanced Studies International Health (MAS IH) prepares students to act as international health experts and implementers, capable of tackling health-related challenges in inter-sectoral environments across multiple levels and cultures, from the community to the international/global stage, with a special focus on disadvantaged populations. Graduates of the programme fill a critical gap in the number of well-trained personnel available to strengthen health systems and improve access to health for all.
The MAS IH is a collaborative modular programme involving some 30 tropEd accredited universities worldwide. 10 of the 70 ECTS credit points will be acquired outside Swiss TPH, from a tropEd accredited partner institute, giving students the chance to benefit from multiple approaches and networks. To get the most out of the programme, the MAS IH is a tailor made programme, covering the individual needs respectively the work-study balance. Each student is always in close contact with a tutor who guides him or her through the whole process of Masters study.

“The course has allowed me to be exposed to different institutions, countries and dozens of inspiring international professionals. Coming from a different field, I have begun to immerse myself in this world, start my career in Global Health and, so far, I have enjoyed every second of it.”
