Global Health intercalated BSc course equips medical students with the knowledge and skills to critically engage with global health issues. Students will benefit from exploring social, political, economic and anthropological perspectives on the main challenges faced in providing healthcare across the globe.
Despite unprecedented medical advances, there continue to be vast inequalities in access to health and healthcare around the world.
Communicable diseases travel rapidly across national borders, while chronic diseases are a serious threat to the health of populations in developed and developing countries. Conflict and natural disasters cause death and injury and limit access to healthcare in already impoverished regions. You will benefit from a multidisciplinary approach, exploring social, political, economic and anthropological perspectives on the main challenges faced in providing healthcare across the globe.
A unique feature of this course is our partnership with capacity-building projects which will provide you with insights into the realities of health work in low-income countries. Previously, students have had the opportunity to conduct research projects with our partnerships in Somaliland and Sierra Leone.
