The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health is a friendly, thriving multi-disciplinary department located in Central London. Staff aim to develop a better understanding of health and prevention of ill health through vigorous research and the development of research methodology. This knowledge is applied via undergraduate and graduate teaching, contributions to national and international health policy and contributions to the wider public understanding on health.

The Department has approximately 165 staff, 40 graduate students and contributes to the teaching of all UCL medical undergraduate students. The Department falls within the UCL Division of Population Health. It works closely with fellow departments within the Division and has strong links to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, Departments of Economics and Statistical Science and the Division of Medicine.
