How do social, biological, cultural, and institutional forces shape the health and well-being of communities? Laurier’s Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Health Studies + Master of Science (MSc) at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) explores this question by examining the complex factors that influence the health of populations defined by geography, socioeconomic status, gender, cultural identity, ability and vulnerability.

This program offers the opportunity to study in the UK, at a university recognized for its excellence in medical and health education. You’ll start your BA in Health Studies at Laurier with a conditional offer of admission to the MSc in Public Health or the Global Health program at BSMS.
