Course content

Our multidisciplinary team can support students wanting to conduct research in a wide range of topics (see below) and using different methodologies. We are especially interested in students who will collect data in a low- or middle-income country and we welcome students with good, original ideas for a PhD project.

The research degree programme at the Institute for Global Health (IGH) aims to provide excellent, interesting, challenging training for exceptional students so that they may successfully pursue careers in research, training, medicine, child health or public health. MPhil/PhD research in the IGH normally has an international dimension, often with field work carried out abroad. This may require travel to the study site to collect preliminary data. The IGH also runs a seminar programme, which on a weekly basis provides an opportunity for our research community to meet and share experiences and ideas through presentations.
