As students at the bachelor, master, doctoral and post-graduate level embark on in-person, hybrid and online learning this week, we take a closer look at a Swiss TPH mainstay - the postgraduate course in International Cooperation and Global Health. Across Switzerland, this week marks the start of the autumn semester. Students also resume classes at Swiss TPH in Basel, Switzerland, at a moment of heightened awareness for global health due to the pandemic. "I've seen how COVID-19 has very different effects globally," notes Cornelia Hässig, one of nearly 30 students attending the first day of classes in International Cooperation and Global Health (Internationale Zusammenarbeit und Globale Gesundheit - IZGG) at Swiss TPH. She took the "Regional Medicine" module of the course two years ago and has returned to finish the IZGG this autumn. The course has evolved considerably since it was introduced in 1944 and embraces topics from travel medicine to social determinants of health.
