Nina - Masters in Public Health student
Visit Nina's student profile"The learning and teaching environment in the University of Birmingham is the best I have ever experienced. The professors give us ample resources to deepen our understanding of the subject matter and provide us with enough space to engage in the lectures. Furthermore, they motivate us to think creatively and come up with feasible solutions to various health issues. The course provided me with a better understanding of how the health system operates in a high-income country such as the UK. Moreover, the lecture encouraged us to reflect on how we can tackle global health issues in a manner that ensures equal treatment for all individuals."
