Course summary

The Health, Wellbeing and Society pathway unites leading social scientists and practitioners to explore the social determinants of health, lifestyle behaviours, physical activity, and mental wellbeing. It aims to foster a healthier society by advancing research at the intersection of health and social sciences, influencing policy, services, and practice. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this pathway equips researchers with the knowledge and tools to address global health challenges across diverse populations and settings, both in the UK and internationally. All students will have two supervisors from different disciplinary perspectives on health and wellbeing. Your supervisors will convene joint meetings on a regular basis and will attend the annual one-day workshop for all pathway students. Students will normally be registered in the school of their first supervisor. This may not be the school that processes your application.
