The Section of Social Medicine supervises research projects in:
- Medicine bachelor's projects and master's theses
- Public Health Science (bachelor’s projects and master’s theses)
- Public Health (master's theses)
- Global Health, master theses
We supervise both projects using qualitative methods and those using quantitative methods (primarily social epidemiology). However, unfortunately we are not always able to meet the demands for supervision, due to a very large supervisory activity within the Section.
