MSc alumni
Since 2014, we have taught over 250 students from 47 countries. We encourage all alumni to keep in touch after completing the MSc.
The aim of the course is primarily to prepare students to continue their studies to doctoral level and beyond, however, the extensive practical component will enable successful students to establish a career in academia, major national and international health organisations, government agencies or in industry.
where are they now?
Our graduates from 2014/15 to 2022/23 have gone on to the following roles:
- 45% continued with a PhD or hold a research position
- 37% have either begun training as a clinician or returned to medicine
- 6% took positions in the government (e.g. Health Security Agency, US CDC), inter-governmental organisations (e.g. WHO, UNICEF) or non-governmental organisations (e.g. CRUK, GAVI)
- 12% have gone to other destinations.
Based on responses to the Government’s Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey, six months after completing the MSc, over half of alumni from our course are in employment and a third are in further education.

keeping in touch
Alumni of the MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology (and the MSc in Global Health Science, as it was previously named) are encouraged to join our LinkedIn group.
We invite alumni to speak at our annual symposiums and careers days about their careers after graduating. These events also provide a forum for networking.
If you are interested in showcasing your achievements on the department’s website or giving a talk to our current students please contact the Graduate Studies Office.
