The Global Health programme from King's College London takes an innovative approach to teaching global health by providing an interdisciplinary foundation in health and social sciences before giving students the opportunity to specialise in one of four settings: Global Surgery, Health Professions Education, Disasters & Adaptation, Conflict & Security.
This applied approach will enable students to consider theoretical and ethical debates, and assess their relevance for the realities of fieldwork using case studies. Drawing on the Centre-s experience in programmatic work, students will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, and share their own knowledge and experiences of working in health care, development and humanitarian settings.
