Global Mental Health
Timetable and Assessments
To keep the MSc programme open to individuals who are in employment or other forms of training, teaching will be delivered in five 2-week long intensive teaching blocks spread over two years (part-time) or one year (full-time). Students can travel from their place of residence and return home after each 2 week teaching block. Alternatively, students studying the course full-time may wish to stay in Glasgow and use the time between the teaching blocks to work on the MSc project. On-line seminars will be held at regular intervals to guide relevant reading and facilitate regular discussion between students and programme staff about key themes and issues relevant to Global Mental Health between the teaching blocks.
