Overview
Globally, there is a great inequality in health status and this inequality is a barrier to development. The Global Health from the University of Copenhagen welcomes students from all over the world to Copenhagen and has a highly international profile and outlook. You get hands-on, case-based education e.g. the country exposure course, where you research and work abroad. You will possess complex problem-solving skills, which enables you to address questions and issues of global health in depth.
After completing the compulsory courses and country exposure course, you specialise within one of the five following study tracks: Policy, financing and health care systems; Disease burden, challenges and changes; E-health and ICT in health; Disaster risk management or a generalist track. Additionally, you can join many extracurricular activities, such as the global health film festival and the summer school’s global health challenge.
