This Global Health and Social Science BA will teach you how to analyse and address issues of disparities in health and well-being around the world. You’ll study global health through an interdisciplinary curriculum that covers complex social, cultural, political, economic and ethical aspects, encouraging you to explore the field from a variety of perspectives. And by learning how to bring theory and practice together, you’ll be empowered to form your own ideas of how to make a difference. This undergraduate Global Health and Social Science degree will demonstrate how to think critically about the power of scientific and medical knowledge, and how healthcare practices and technologies are shaped. You’ll be taught by internationally renowned social scientists with expertise in global public health and beyond. You’ll get to engage with social science research using real-world examples of how policymaking impacts life experience and explore how humanitarian strategies are used to reduce suffering and improve health and well-being around the globe. And you will investigate social science approaches to the most pressing global health challenges of our time, from HIV/AIDS epidemics, the Ebola crisis in West Africa and the opioid crisis in the United States and Britain, to the trauma of war, the apparent exposition of psychiatric disorders around the world, and access to medicines for all.
