Multidisciplinära perspektiv på global hälsa

Are you interested in health from a global perspective? In this course you will explore health and its relationship with global development. By highlighting the roles of different professions working with global health the course emphasises the importance of applying a multidisciplinary approach to global health research and practice.

Course design and content

The course is conveyed through recorded lectures and instructed self-studies, as well as written discussions where your participation is expected. During the course we will cover five areas: 

1. Introduction to global health.
2. Global health and sustainable development.
3. Perspectives on global health.
4. Working with global health.
5. Collaboration for global health.

As a student on this course you should have a genuine interest in global health. Maybe you currently are, or have the ambition to, work with global health. We welcome students from different disciplines, and you do not have to have a background in health sciences. Through the assignments in the course you will have the opportunity to further explore topics you are interested in, and through the discussions you are contributing to the learning of other students.
