Travel, trade and migration have made health an increasingly global issue. As a result, health inequalities both within and between countries are changing and increasing. There is thus increasing demand for dynamic health leaders who can operate in today's global challenges.

You work regularly in intercontinental teams with students from McMaster University (Canada), Thammasat University (Thailand), Manipal University (India), Ahfad University for Women (Sudan) and Rosario University (Colombia). You may get the chance to meet them at an annual summit. Through virtual project work, you gain insight into different perspectives and the skills needed for cross-cultural collaboration.

This is a one-year full-time programme taught in English.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

At Maastricht University you work in groups of a maximum of 12 students on practical projects that deal with a health-related theme in a multidisciplinary manner. You get factual knowledge, but you also learn how to collaborate, present or how to set up a research project. Practical and subject-oriented skills training are amply discussed. Together you look for solutions and formulate answers. Independently, but always under the supervision of a tutor.
