Postgraduate Certificate in Demography and Health

The programme is designed for those interested in acquiring technical expertise in demography, and understanding the interlinkages between population studies and health including fertility, sexual behaviour, ageing, health inequalities and life expectancy.

Stand-alone modules specialising in Demography and Health are available for study. Stand-alone modules offer specialised professional training in population studies, with a particular emphasis on health and social epidemiology. They can provide you with training in the theories and methods of demography and population sciences and their application to health, social welfare and economic development.

We are one of the largest, most diverse universities in the UK with over 120,000 students in London, and a further 50,000 studying across 190 countries for a University of London degree.

The University of London was established by Royal Charter in 1836 for the public benefit and is recognised globally. Throughout our long history, the University has offered access to a wide range of academic opportunities. As a world leader in higher education, the University has pioneered change in the sector. We were the first university to admit students regardless of their gender, race or religion, the first to admit women to degree programmes and, in 1865, the first to give students the opportunity to study wherever they are, providing access to higher education across the globe. For almost 200 years, we have improved the lives of millions of people around the world through our unique approach to education, prompting Charles Dickens to term us the 'People's University'.
