For students attending the course Global Health Practice and Project Management course code 4GB007
This course introduces the principles of project management and their application in global health.

They will develop practical skills in planning, budgeting, and risk assessment, enabling them to manage projects effectively.
Syllabus
Collaboration across sectors is an important theme, with students learning how to establish partnerships and work within multisectoral frameworks to tackle global health challenges. They will assess the roles and mandates of different global health actors, such as governments, civil society organisations, and international organisations, and explore how these actors collaborate in project implementation. Ethical principles will be integrated to ensure that students understand how to manage projects responsibly and make decisions that align with ethical standards in global health.
Students will gain practical experience through study visits to organisations such as SIDA, and UNICEF, where they will critically evaluate the roles and collaboration mechanisms of these key actors. The course also develops communication skills, with students practising how to engage various stakeholders through activities like writing debate articles and creating podcasts, ensuring they are equipped to communicate effectively in global health settings.
