Online Masters
The University of East London offer a Master of Science in Humanitarian Intervention by Distance Learning. Save the Children recognises this as a career pathway for MHPSS professionals. The MSc covers the priorities outlined in the new WHO 2025 Guidance on Mental Health Policy and Strategic Action Plans, which emphasize the urgent need for rights-based, person-centred, and recovery-oriented approaches to psychosocial support. The course equips practitioners to address the social and structural determinants of mental health — including conflict, displacement, poverty, and inequality — while working with diverse populations across humanitarian and post-conflict contexts.
