Scholarship recipients

As students we are always being told to choose between the arts and sciences; never being able to give up one for the other, the Global Health and Social Medicine course has been incredible as it doesn’t just accept me not fitting a mould, but actively encourages me to break it. I always find myself genuinely excited for my classes – my lecturers have helped me conceptualize ideas I was never able to put into words and the smaller class sizes have allowed me to meet plenty of like-minded people, even amidst distance learning; I look forward to completing the rest of my years at King’s with my cohort.

Eaint (Precious) May Moe, Global Health & Social Medicine BA, 2019-20

The Global Health & Social Medicine course will help me towards my goal of working for a global organisation like the World Health Organization or the United Nations Development Programme. The scholarship was an unexpected and welcome addition to this opportunity and I am very excited for my years ahead at King’s.

Jiwon (Sophie) Lee, Global Health & Social Medicine BA, 2018-19

The BSc will be a strong base for my future studies, providing an understanding of medicine and health, as well as experience working in laboratory-based fields such as neuroscience or pharmacology. This scholarship gives me the chance to expand my learning opportunities.

Rachel Morse, Global Health & Social Medicine BSc, 2016-17

Global Health & Social Medicine encompasses a wide range of fields related to the functioning of global health systems, including laboratory-based modules. It is a well-rounded course that is bound to set my path into the world of health and medicine.
