These skills will equip students to make valuable contributions in research, public health, policy and practice.

Entry requirements

An upper second-class honours degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, or an appropriate registrable qualification in medicine. Experience in a mental health-related field is desirable but not essential. Intercalating medical students may apply. Applications should be made to King’s College London at kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/graduate/global-mental-health.

Intercalating Students

You will need the equivalent of a bachelor's degree to undertake an MSc. This will usually require you to have a BSc degree or have completed the first three years of your medical degree.
