Do you want to contribute to better health for all?

The Department of Global Public Health is a multidisciplinary department with the aim to advance knowledge about challenges and opportunities for public health in a local, national, and global setting. Many researchers at the department are scientific advisors to authorities and other decision makers at regional, national, and international levels.

The speciality of social medicine is characterised by expertise in human health and disease in interaction with the surrounding society. It is also characterised by knowledge of the determinants of health, such as the social and psychosocial causes of ill-health and disease, the impact of social structure, the environment, health care systems, working life and people's living conditions and lifestyles on health in different social groups, the distribution of health in the population, and social consequences of disease. The area of competence also includes clinical knowledge of common diseases, especially among marginalised groups.
