Yep! It's the only Global Health course with sections being focused on the biomedical sciences so it's always been my first choice.
I am going to apply to this course as well, what other courses have you guys applied too. On your personal statement did you just refer to the course as global health because I am also thinking of applying to population health in UCL and Global health in queen Mary.

I also applied to UCL for Population Health and then my other 3 choices were Medicine :smile:
Hi it's been a while since I've been on the site but I've since gotten all 5 of my offers. KCL GHSM, QM Global Health, UCL Population Health, and two other biomedical science courses (Warwick and Surrey).

@Glitzmania it might be too late but I'll post here for reference anyway. I mostly described how I first developed an interest into the biological sciences and then considered how this could be applied with my geographical knowledge to be used to treat diseases within populations worldwide. This in turn allowed me to cover both components of the KCL course (global health and the biomed options), as well as the modules in all of my other choices. I would like to note that I did get asked for a supplementary personal statement from Queen Mary

Hope this helps.
Just got a conditional offer for this course today :smile:
Did anyone apply to the year abroad one?

Finally another one! Is this your firm choice? Cause it's so hard to find people who've also put this as their top choice. I guess no one really knows about the course at all.
