Who are we?

Growing global health issues and crises call for interdisciplinary and international collaboration. In response to these challenges, the Université de Bordeaux and its partners are placing global health at the heart of its research, training and expertise missions.

This site aims to give visibility to the many research, teaching and expertise activities carried out in Bordeaux in the field of Global Health, within the University of Bordeaux, its research centres and training components, as well as at Sciences Po Bordeaux.

The Bordeaux Population Health Center (BPH, UMR Insem 1219) is a research centre renowned for its cutting-edge work in epidemiology, public health and development. It conducts research on key issues such as chronic diseases, health inequalities, and the prevention and management of health crises on a global scale. Thanks to rigorous methodologies and international collaborations, it contributes to improving the health of populations in a variety of contexts.

Isped (Institut de Santé Publique, d’Épidémiologie et de Développement / Bordeaux School of Public Health) is a benchmark training institute in these fields. It offers high-level teaching programmes in public health, epidemiology and development, training professionals capable of meeting global health challenges. Its teaching approach combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills, closely linked to advances in research.

The Bordeaux School of Economics provides essential expertise in analysing the economic dimensions of healthcare policies, funding systems and the socio-economic impact of healthcare interventions.

Sciences Po Bordeaux explores aspects of governance, the dynamics of international relations and the development of public health policies, highlighting the interactions between health, society and institutions.

This unique synergy on the Bordeaux site enables the development of interdisciplinary research projects, excellent training courses and international partnerships, all actively contributing to meeting the complex challenges of global public health.

Institute of Public Health, Epidemiology and Development

Since 2014, Isped has been part of the Health Sciences College of the University of Bordeaux.
Founded in 1997, Isped is France’s first School of Public Health, which is distinct from and very close to the other components of the Health Sciences College: medical sciences, odontology, pharmacy, rehabilitation sciences, spas and nursing sciences.

In December 2023, Isped was accredited as a school of public health by the APHEA (Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation), for the maximum duration of 6 years.

This international accreditation underlines the quality of the training and programmes offered in the field of public health, as well as the resources deployed by Isped and the University of Bordeaux to welcome students, structure governance and internal operations, and the diversity and solidity of partnerships, whether at local, national or international level.
