Global Health (Intercalated) BMSc (Hons)

Studying medicine gives you a clear path to becoming a doctor, but what if you’d like the opportunity to study a specific topic in more detail or explore a more lab-based or theoretical area of medicine? This is where an intercalated degree could be of benefit.

With an intercalated degree you can spend a year studying a topic of interest. This allows you to:

• become more informed about different options for your career post-graduation
• gain new transferable skills, including research skills
• get a deeper insight into a subject area that interests you

The increasing globalisation of trade, healthcare and communications has an impact on health.

This course will give you an insight into international relations around the world. It will also allow you to explore the cycle of disadvantage and sub-optimal health outcomes in Scotland and its effects.

You will learn about the impact healthcare policy can have on individuals and groups. You will also look at how healthcare systems and priorities compares across the world.
