Our students learn a great deal about research within their degree and benefit from a variety of hands-on learning opportunities that focus on building and applying research skills working on global health projects. Some of these opportunities have resulted in students being awarded research grants, co-authoring peer-reviewed publications, and presenting their research at academic conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global health students can gain the chance to work closely with professors and researchers in the School of Global Health and other global health research units at York (Dahdaleh Institute of Global Health<\/a>, Global & Environmental Health Lab<\/a>, Global Food & Health Systems Research Group<\/a>, and the Global Strategy Lab<\/a>), which provides invaluable first-hand experience in the design, implementation, evaluation, and publication of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these opportunities are paid, while course credit can be received for other opportunities. Some students have co-authored peer-reviewed publications with professors collaborating on their research projects. The number and nature of opportunities can vary depending on what research is currently being conducted at the time and how many students professors are able to take on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
