Yes, you can pursue a second master's degree in public health or global health after completing a master's in public policy. Many universities welcome applicants with a background in public policy, as it provides a strong foundation for understanding health systems and policies.

Admission requirements vary by university and program. Some may prefer or require relevant work experience in the health sector, while others focus mainly on your academic qualifications. You will typically need to submit transcripts, a statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and proof of English language proficiency.
