The MSc Demography & Health equips students with the theories and skills to understand population dynamics and their implications for health and health policies. Students are trained in the analysis of processes that govern population change, the personally and politically important issues of fertility and reproductive behaviour; exposure to health risks and mortality; and migration: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/masters/demography-health

The MSc Reproductive & Sexual Health Research is designed for students interested in acquiring the skills necessary to evaluate and critically assess policy-relevant research into sexual and reproductive health. It provides a non-clinical foundation in family planning, obstetric health, AIDS and sexually-transmitted infections: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/masters/reproductive-sexual-health-research

The MSc Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy & Planning is a new online MSc programme developed and delivered with the University of Ghana. It is primarily targeted at those interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills required to design, implement and evaluate evidence-based sexual and reproductive health programmes and policies in sub-Saharan Africa and other low- and middle-income settings: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/courses/masters-degrees/sexual-reproductive-health-policy-programming
