What's it like studying Global Health & Social Medicine at King's?
Hear from our students
What Our Students Say
It’s intellectually stimulating, combining theory with practical application and is taught by leading members of the Global Health field in the heart of London.
Growing up I always had an interest in developing nations. Studying at King’s enables me to explore what I can do to bring change and promote equality.
Doing Global Health and Social Medicine as a BSc gave me the perfect mix between natural sciences, in my case the Neuroscience pathway, and social sciences, as you learn about policies, different global health actors and why even with all the money in the world it might not be as easy to solve all health problems.
