International health considers health in the context of economic and social development, stressing cultural, political, gender and environmental influences, and the impact of armed conflict and population migration. During their studies students have the opportunity to learn about human rights, ethics, law and development. Course content is also informed by field experiences gained by Monash University and Burnet Institute staff in their wide range of health developement projects in more than 20 countries in Asia, the Pacific and Africa.

The design, implementation and evaluation of programs that address the major public health priorities of communities in developing countries are examined.
