Population Health Sciences BSc

Population Health Sciences gives you a broad and deep understanding of how health and disease are measured and analysed, incorporating research methods, demography, infectious and non-communicable disease and life course epidemiology. 

World-leading researchers immerse you in the social, economic and demographic distribution of health and disease, and show you how to analyse big data to address health inequalities. You are provided with the opportunity to develop transferable skills including interpretation and communication of complex ideas. These are highly sought after by graduate employers, from international NGOs to start-ups and will also prepare you for post-graduate study should you pursue this. 

In years 1 and 2, you gain a thorough understanding of how health and disease are measured and analysed, incorporating research methods, demography, infectious and non-communicable disease and life course epidemiology. You receive applied data analysis training in all years, bringing UCL's unparalleled data access and understanding of theory together in a hands-on learning environment. As you progress through the degree, you are provided with increased opportunity for specialisation in population health. 

Please note, that our Population Health Sciences (Data Science) BSc has a unique UCAS code that you will need to make an application. The UCAS code can be found on the Population Health Sciences (Data Science) BSc prospectus page.
