My favourite part of my degree is getting to know people from all walks of life and indulge their richness of knowledge and experience. The shared time together in discussions and exchanging ideas was stimulating and nurturing. I enjoyed the flexibility the online programme offered as I was able to juggle studies, work and family life which I never thought was possible. The course was well structured and delivered. It gave me fulfilment as I was able to “meet” and engage in meaningful conversations about global public health with like-minded people.— Jen Ping Chan, MSc Global Public Health Online
