This programme provides a platform for undergraduate students from around the world to develop advanced methodologies for conducting research projects. Covering both qualitative and quantitative techniques, the courses offer students a unique opportunity to meet leading scholars at HKU in their respective fields, build professional networks, and expand their research skills. Students will also gain systematic knowledge on writing about their research and learn how to apply this knowledge in a professional manner, both within and beyond their degree. The knowledge and skills acquired through this programme will enable students to become effective members of a research community.

This introductory multidisciplinary course will equip students with an understanding of how the health of the world’s population has changed over time, how and why it might change in future and what might be done to influence these trajectories. A recurring theme throughout the course is that essentially the same global drivers are responsible for the health risks faced by populations in both high and middle/low income groups. The stark differences in health outcomes in high income compared with middle/low income groups is not primarily a reflection of different risks but of differences in the capacity to prevent or respond to these risks. The field of population health is a constantly and rapidly changing one, so the focus of this course is not simply to teach students about current public health priorities but rather to equip them with the skills and knowledge to assess and critically appraise relevant evidence so that they can become effective decision-makers and problem-solvers.
