Science Communication Final Project (HPSC0155)

The Master’s degree culminates in a science communication project of the student’s own design. This project is documented by a project report, or a portfolio of science communication writings, or a science documentary, or a podcast, or any other mode of communication. The student's work is guided by an academic supervisor. It also is supported by a variety of key skill programmes. Students are expected to construct a project that includes original research, deliberate methodological choices, and shows relevance to significant conversations within the discipline. The project should represent the very best science communication a student can produce in their medium of choice.

Conflict, Humanitarianism and Health (GLBH0004)

Conflict, humanitarianism and health will provide you with an understanding of violent conflict, and its causes and health consequences. You will be introduced to some of the key debates about the humanitarian response to conflict, including its effectiveness, coordination, relationship to development, its regulation by international law, and the role of the other actors, such as non-state armed opposition groups. Global power relations and politics will provide a backdrop to understanding conflict dynamics while innovations in humanitarian response are discussed and analysed. You will examine the difficulties of conducting assessments, analysing and understanding health data, and planning and monitoring health interventions in situations of conflict. The module also looks at future conflict scenarios and how the humanitarian system may need to adapt as the methods and means for conducting warfare evolves.

After taking this module you should be able to:

Understand the definitions and nature of conflict and its causes
	Describe the impact of conflict on health and methods to measure it
	Understand the various definitions of humanitarianism and the legal basis of humanitarian action
	Explain the characteristics of a humanitarian emergency and how humanitarian interventions can be planned and coordinated
	Critically review humanitarian interventions including those for WASH, SGBV, and disabled people
	Understand how migration may impact on health
The module is open to students on the MSc/PG Dip and iBSc Global Health and Development, and other UCL MSc/PG Dip and undergraduate students and affiliate students subject to availability.
