The study of global health recognises that the health of populations transcends borders. It encompasses the links and transnational movements of people, materials and ideas, and takes a holistic approach to managing health issues. This major will help you understand the complex ways health and disease intersect with culture, society, history and political-economic forces, and how these forces shape global health outcomes. You'll acquire critical analysis skills as you examine the relationship between power, gender, inequality and health, and research skills in the context of designing, implementing and disseminating global health research and programs. You'll also develop in-demand job skills like cultural competence and leadership, as you work collaboratively to complete projects, set priorities and address the practical problems within large and small organisations.
