Better Together!

Starting in the upcoming academic year of 2026-2027, there are 2 ways to participate in our Minor Global Health:

• You can choose the 10-weeks course, which gives you insight in and knowledge on all aspects of Global Health with final assignments in Rotterdam.

• Or you choose the 20-weeks course, which, after 8 weeks of intense and thorough preparation, sends you abroad for about 8 weeks to experience Health & Healthcare in a completely different setting and culture. The 20-weeks course is concluded in Rotterdam with 4 weeks to finalize your assignments and projects and present these at the yearly MGH Symposium. 

The Minor Global Health is organized in close collaborations with our international partners. Without them and without their efforts, this program would not be possible.
