Institute for Global Health MPhil/PhD

UCL (University College London)

Our MPhil/PhD offers students from a range of backgrounds the opportunity to explore topics within a broad global health agenda. The programme equips you for the diversity and demands of a career in global health. The UCL Institute for Global Health (UCL IGH) provides cross-disciplinary training in global health for students from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Drawing on UCL's strength as a multi-faculty university, it brings together disciplines such as anthropology, economics, geography, law, philosophy, politics, clinical sciences and epidemiology to analyse complex health issues and identify solutions. Our programmes allow you to explore your interests in global health, broadening your horizons for your future career and giving you knowledge and a range of skills that are useful in the job market. Institute staff are experienced in many types of global health work, including research, programme management, policy advice and advocacy, and work closely across these areas in many different countries and global health institutions. The UCL Doctoral School values candidates with a desire to challenge the status quo openly and freely but rigorously an openness to pushing frontiers of disciplinary knowledge within and beyond conventional disciplines a desire to make an impact with the fruits of research to work with integrity to be sensitive to diversity and to engage with society beyond academia.
