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 modular part-time programme. Courses have to be taken in at least two different tropEd member institutes in two different countries. Student investment time and performance in the courses and the Masters dissertation are measured with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).

The Masters programme is equivalent to one year of full-time study and can be spread over a period of up to five years. Student investment time for the core course, the advanced modules and the thesis work is, on average, equally distributed, summing up to 1.800 hours.

ECTS: 70

Current dates are listed on the Swiss TPH website.

Participants are mostly trained health professionals (medical doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, etc.), though participants from other disciplines (business or social science, for example) are welcome. Participants who want to join the MIH programme can only apply for the whole programme after finishing the core course HCM.

Participants with a first professional qualification (e.g. Bachelor degree) have at least 2 years of professional experience and demonstrate sufficient English language skills (TOEFL Paper 550/ TOEFL Computer 213/ TOEFL internet 79 – 80/ IELTS 6.0 or native speaker or completed higher education in English).
