Vision for Edinburgh Global Health Academy
One World One Health One Medicine - Working to support the creation, dissemination and the translation of global health knowledge across a global community of health practitioners, trainers, researchers and policy makers.
The Global Health Academy’s key objectives are to:
- Offer world leading interdisciplinary postgraduate degrees to help combat global health challenges.
- Engage in global collaborative research to make life better; and
- Participate and lead in the creation of global health networks and health partnerships.
“Creating, Disseminating and Applying Global Health Knowledge. Together”
Global Research
The Academy will contribute towards research and evidence based interventions against the major health problems affecting low- and middle- income societies across the globe. Priorities that the Academy has identified will include the dual burden of disease, social inequalities in health and the translation of leading scientific advances into effective interventions.
The Academy will act as a portal for both UK wide and global research groups and collaborations wishing to create networks within Health and strengthen their approach to donors and funding agencies - helping to establish research hubs with international partners. A key aim of the Academy is to facilitate long-term institutional capacity strengthening of our Southern partner universities in Africa and Southeast Asia to undertake research, education, administration, and knowledge management.
Education & Training
The Academy brings together from across the University, crossing all boundaries in disciplines - a wide portfolio of postgraduate masters degrees in global health. From the sciences and social sciences to policy and practice to human and animal health. We recognise the importance of choice and will offer our degrees in a variety of formats: on campus, online, full-time or part-time.
Communities of Practice
The Academy will enable global linking and enhance the culture of professional development across disciplines providing fellowship, peer oversight, promotion of professionalism, dialogue and networking
