The Department of Health Studies is an exciting addition to the School of Life Sciences and the Environment, sitting alongside our existing departments of Biological Sciences, Earth Sciences, Geography and Psychology.
The new department focuses on promoting healthier populations and environments by engaging with fundamental challenges and building healthy and resilient communities. The department will welcome its first postgraduate students in September 2022 with courses in:
- MSc Food Security, Sustainability and Biodiversity (in Partnership with Royal Botanic Gardens Kew).
- MSc Global Health: Human Health and the Environment
- MA Global Health: Society, Culture and Behaviour
The Department of Health Studies is excited to build on established world-class research and interdisciplinary collaborations at Royal Holloway to develop new areas of growth with leading experts in health and environmental sectors. These include Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Harvard-led Planetary Health Alliance, whose Northern European Hub is coordinated from Royal Holloway. You can find out more about the department in the video below.
The department is particularly keen to connect with alumni working in the health and environmental sectors, to help inspire future students with regards to the diverse range of career opportunities available within the sector. If you would be interested in getting involved in future careers talks or would like to submit an alumni profile please do get in touch.
