The global health summer course provides an understanding of global health variations between and within countries. The course combines different teaching methods: lectures, group discussions, self study and computer sessions based on exercises using online digital resources (such as Gapminder.org and childmortality.org) to plan and present reports on the health of nations. An added value is that the course will include students from different parts of the world which creates an intercultural learning and teaching environment.
