The Melbourne School of Population and Global Health (MSPGH) is a respected leader in the field of public health education, research and knowledge exchange.

Since its inception, the School has grown rapidly in size, scope and reputation – demonstrated in the University of Melbourne ranking 12^th globally* for public health - and consistently attracts leading academics and researchers who bring considerable skills, insights and expertise. In early 2023 the School will launch a new strategic plan articulating a renewed vision, purpose and direction for MSPGH.
