Master of Arts in Population and Sexual and Reproductive Health

Population and sexual and reproductive health are crucial aspects of development. However, in many developing countries, where improvement in population well-being is most needed, there is a lack of trained personnel with high-level research skills and adequate theoretical understanding. In response to this need, the Institute for Population and Social Research (IPSR), Mahidol University drawing on its 40-years research and teaching experience, offers a graduate training program in Population and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH).

This 12-month program is designed to provide training in the art and science of understanding population and SRH issues and collecting, evaluating, and analyzing relevant information. It is designed for individuals working in population, sexual and reproductive health and HIV and AIDS programs and other related areas in academic institutions. Students are exposed to a wide range of theoretical and applied research with special emphasis on socio-cultural issues related to population and SRH.
