The Centre for International Health and Development is a leading centre in the teaching of international health. It offers an interdisciplinary programme that enables you to approach complex problems from different viewpoints, and facilitates an understanding of the actors and issues influencing health and health policy in different countries.

UCL has pioneered the teaching of international health to undergraduates. You will be taught by leading academics and practitioners in the discipline, many of whom have worked for government and high-profile non-governmental organisations. The Institute for Global Health provides a stimulating forum for debate and academic collaboration.

You will gain a unique insight into the dilemmas facing policymakers and practitioners in international health. The programme stresses the importance of understanding the economic, social and political influences on health worldwide, taking students to the heart of debates about contemporary world events. You will be challenged to think independently and contribute to debate.

Assessment methods include oral presentations, essays, poster presentations, and written examinations. Students coming to UCL for the Fall Term only will be assessed in each course slightly differently from full-year students.
