This programme aims to: provides you with a detailed understanding of global health debates, agendas, politics and practices in a variety of geographical and historical contexts; encourages you to examine pressing global health challenges in light of the significant conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions of critical geographical scholarship; involves unique multi-disciplinary teaching from internationally recognised global health experts that permits students to craft a programme of study that furthers their own academic or professional interests. Teaching is by a mixture of formal lectures and small group seminars. The seminars are designed to generate informed discussion around set topics, and may involve student presentations, group exercises and role-plays as well as open discussion. The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability. Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning requirements and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life. Students receive tailored research supervision and training suitable to their individual research interests. They will also be able to participate in an optional fieldtrip to Geneva, Switzerland to further develop field research skills. Assessment on each of the modules is through a variety of coursework assignments ranging from extended essays to reviews.
