UCL's Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care addresses major 21st century health challenges such as health equity, obesity, tobacco and alcohol, ageing and the organisation of healthcare. 

We aim to understand and influence determinants of health and health behaviour across the lifecourse, develop and evaluate cross-sectoral policies and strategies to improve health, and optimise healthcare delivery and practice.  

Expertise in epidemiology, medical statistics, health psychology, sociology, health economics, public health, primary care, public policy, and improvement science is found throughout our interdisciplinary teams. 

We are home to some of the world's most influential and creative researchers in the field of population health. Our programmes provide our students with the skills and knowledge they need through research embedded education. We aim to prepare you not only to succeed, but to become the next generation of experts in the field.
