KCL Global Health and Social Medicine 2025

Has anyone received offers yet? I only applied a week ago, so not expecting to hear back for a while! Jjust curious how long it's taken others for a response

hi im in yr 12 and want to apply to this uni course i havent done any work experience and cant find any thta relates -help?

Personally back in 2019 I shadowed professors in UCL’s bioscience department. If this isn’t possible: ask around elderly day centres or care homes! This is what I did, gives a great insight to neurodegenerative diseases and how this country manages palliative care. Just a couples ideas, lemme know if you have any more questions :-)

I only just got an email last week saying there’s a delay in applications but they’re trying as hard as they can. I think they’re notorious for being a bit slow but it’s a competitive uni and competitive course so 🤷🏻*♀️

I got mine after I contacted them for an update via kings apply! Best of luck

how are yall finding the course so far? i really want to apply but idk what other course suits it for my ps

It’s great! Really interesting if you want to learn about different issues around healthcare eg health economics and financial distribution and politics etc.. I do the Bsc and that’s great too so you can link pharmaceutical knowledge to social aspects of health and there’s plenty of things that the uni has on to support careers fairs etc. I think it would link with any kind of biomed, applied medical sciences, population health sciences and sociology degree? Tbh for your personal statement I’d focus on like what you want to get out of the degree more than anything else? Since it’s quite an interdisciplinary degree you can’t tailor it to one thing specifically like medicine or pharmacy and I’m sure they’d understand that.

that’s really helpful thanks for your reply! if you don’t mind me asking, what other courses did you apply to? it’s really one of a kind and it seems so interesting!!!!

No worries, so don’t really follow my path because I’m a mature student and went through a completely non-traditional path to uni. I still did a levels of course but that was 4 years ago. So I applied to population health sciences at UCL, global humanitarian studies at UCL, civil engineering, operating department practice and I think science and engineering for social change? So yeah don’t look at mine for inspiration lol I knew that either global humanitarian studies or GHSM was the one I def wanted to do, the rest were kind of fillers, but when you’re 18 and you don’t really have an idea of what path to take. I’d say stick with this course and choose a mix of biomedical and maybe if there’s any other interdisciplinary courses…
