    Frontiers in Human Health

    About

    Applications for the summer school have now closed. The summer school will be taking place from 11 July to 5 August.

    The Frontiers in Human Health summer school offers you the opportunity to explore past, present and future approaches to tackling some of the world's major health challenges. Based here in London, you can connect with fellow students, teachers and researchers as you explore global health challenges and the research approaches used to address them. Fields covered include global health, infection and immunity, genomic medicine, translational medicine and population health.

    With a strong emphasis on research-informed teaching, this four-week summer school will provide you with an opportunity to gain insight into multiple aspects of the research experience by learning face-to-face and first-hand from researchers and undertaking your own short laboratory research project.

    Programme highlights

    Open all Close all

    Face-to-face learning in a unique teaching hospital campus

    With a strong emphasis on research, this programme is intended to provide you with opportunities to gain insight into multiple aspects of the research experience.

    You will engage with specialists in the field, explore research facilities and have the opportunity to work in a group to design and complete your own short laboratory research project.

    Environment

    Being the UK's only university to share its campus with a major teaching hospital means you will be learning in a unique environment.

    This is a fantastic opportunity for you to experience face-to-face education at one of the oldest medical schools in the country alongside one of the UK's busiest hospitals, whilst staying in one of the most socially and culturally diverse cities in the world.

    Living in London

    St George's is located in the thriving, multicultural hub of Tooting in southwest London.

    Our location offers students the best of both worlds, as Tooting is small enough to maintain a friendly, local neighbourhood atmosphere while being close enough to all the attractions of central London.

    You will have all the advantages of living in one of the most exciting cities in the world without all the cost.

    Tooting itself is full of amazing restaurants, an open-air fresh water swimming pool called the Tooting Lido, as well as the always popular Tooting Market.

    St George's is 5 minutes away from Tooting Broadway tube station, which is located on the Northern Line in London Transport's Zone 3. Central London and all its attractions are just 25 minutes away and accessible via the Northern Line tube service, with trains leaving every 2-3 minutes.

    As part of the summer school you will have the opportunity to participate in social activities, such as afternoon tea and trips to attractions across London.

    Please see the Social programme tab on this page for an indicative schedule based on last year's activities. Activities for 2022 will be confirmed soon.
