The Global Health summer school focuses on health equity and complex global health issues. You will learn about healthcare systems around the world, emerging issues and global health careers, and practice qualitative research skills.
This programme aims to bring together a diverse group of students who share a passion for understanding health issues that affect all of us.
Solving these complex health problems requires contributions from people who have different backgrounds, not just medical professionals. You will do a deep dive into the situation in a specific country, prepare for and join a debate on a key global health issue, and explore career options.
Please note: final course details, dates, and tuition fees for the Summer 2027 programme will be published on this website by the end of November.
