The iBSc in Global Health, offered by the UCL Institute of Global Health gives students a thorough understanding of global health and the economic, social, political and cultural forces that shape health and health systems worldwide. Course modules cover a huge variety of subjects from essential drugs to asylum seekers, from global trade to gender, using a cross-disciplinary approach.
Students also benefit from the expertise of lecturers from a wide variety of disciplines:
- medicine
- public health
- economics
- political science
- anthropology
- epidemiology
With constant interaction between students and tutors, discussion and debate are important features of the course. In many instances, students are free to explore areas that are of particular interest to them, particularly through the research project that runs through the academic year. This flexibility, combined with the diversity of tutors’ expertise, makes for a dynamic and varied year.
