Women's Health MSc

UCL (University College London)

From birth and puberty, to motherhood, menopause and old age – the life course of women is filled with opportunities to improve health and wellbeing. Join us to learn more about the varied aspects of women's health (physical, mental, social, cultural, legal and ethical), while tailoring this Master’s degree to your individual interests and career goals. This MSc is ideal if you are looking to build, or progress, your career in women’s health. Drawing on expertise from across a multitude of areas at UCL – from public health and biomedicine to medical sociology and law – this highly personalised course will give you a holistic grounding in this fascinating subject, working with our leading academics and practitioners. Join us to develop the knowledge, research and analytical skills to address key areas of women’s health including pregnancy, fertility and reproductive health, and to assess current challenges including the role of new technologies, overcoming medical misogyny and racism, and the data gap in women’s health. The four compulsory modules will give you a broad understanding of the central themes in women's health. You can then shape your learning to reflect your career aspirations, drawing from a diverse list of optional modules, and selecting a research project in line with your interests and aspirations. The UCL EGA Institute for Women’s Health (UCL EGA IfWH) attracts top research and clinical faculty, and supports students from clinical, social science and entrepreneurial backgrounds to move forward with their professional goals. We welcome applications across a broad spectrum of women's health backgrounds, including recent graduates and those returning to education after a period of employment. Our students come from all over the world and we value the diversity of experience, knowledge and culture that this brings to the course. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
