Advances in the scientific understanding of health and disease along with new technological developments offer exciting opportunities for improved health, but also present novel challenges to our health systems in terms of affordability, sustainability, and equity. The societies we live in and the lifestyles we adopt influence our health.Solutions to health problems, like the origins of those problems, must be multi-faceted. Policy developers, non-governmental agencies and health-workers must work alongside researchers, health professionals and industry to promote holistic solutions. Multidisciplinary solutions need individuals who have the skills to work across and within these boundaries to be an agent for change.The BSc in Health and Medical Sciences will help you address current local and global problems in health through the integrated perspectives of health science, and medical science. It will equip you with the vital skills to be able to make a valuable contribution and impact on health in our society, both locally and globally. Case-based learning, a signature educational approach for Warwick Medical School, and small group teaching feature heavily in the delivery of the course.
