How?

Education and training

Our education programmes aim to prepare future leaders in global health to understand and address the challenges and opportunities of globalisation. Our courses cover subjects which are relevant to improving health and healthcare in resource-poor countries. We have particular strength in capacity building in fragile states, communicable and non-communicable disease, mental health and conflict.

Research

We aim to deliver research in collaboration with low-middle income countries, building research capacity within our health partnerships and ensuring that our research is valuable.

Global Health is an area for study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. It emphasizes transnational health issues, determinants and solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the global health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of population-based prevention with individual-level care.
