Course structure: MPH233 will run as a campus-based course, with online lectures for guest lecturers. The course will have its main teaching activities every second week. On some occasions, the course will run in parallel with MPH234 (Migration and Health in a social, demographic and political context). Some lectures and learning activities will thus be done jointly.  

All information about each theme, lecture, literature and task will be found under Modules.
