Online learning at ISGlobal

Just like our face-to-face courses, the online Diploma is built on core competencies, active learning methodologies, collaborative work with peers, and the guidance of researchers and practitioners with expertise in diverse disciplines related to Global Health. The Diploma is a part-time, mostly asynchronous programme, with a minimum of real-time interactions. This allows students to structure their study time according to their personal context and to balance the demands of the degree with professional and personal commitments.
