About the Institute

The UCL Institute for Global Health (IGH) is a world-leading centre of research and teaching excellence in global health.

Vision

Our vision is to collaborate across disciplines to find solutions to global health problems. We believe there is no single solution to the world’s health problems. A cross-disciplinary approach is at the heart of our research and teaching, and we draw on the expertise of over 200 staff from across UCL.

Research

Our research
We undertake research in developing and transitional countries, to change lives around the world. We aim to produce world-class research which can be translated into workable solutions for policy makers. Read more >>

Teaching

Our teaching
We give students the tools they need for a real understanding of global health work. Staff with a unique breadth of experience unite traditional public health concerns with economics, law, philosophy, geography, anthropology and many other disciplines. 

Collaborations

The cross-fertilisation and application of global health expertise at UCL is coordinated through the UCL Institute for Global Health. Read more about our collaborations and partnerships around the world.

Our Institute forms part of a wider community of departments and teams working on Global Health at UCL.  This community helps us to foster close links and work on common goals with our colleagues at the Grand Challenge of Global Health, the Global Engagement office and the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI).  Read more on the Global Health at UCL website.
