Undergraduate Courses
Public health investigates and applies medical and health knowledge at a global or community level, rather than at the individual level found in clinical medicine. It’s flexible, it can be applied across countless clinical domains and can have huge impact. Your work in public health can make a tangible difference to thousands, if not millions of people, whether it be implementing community health programs, developing national policies to tackle the next big infectious disease, or researching improved sanitation in slums.
