Results and Impact This lecture to undergraduate students at the University of Edinburgh drew on results from our research which assessed the impact of student migration upon neighbourhood health. The topic was chosen because of the strong relevance to the daily lives of the students and resulted in considerable discussion during the lecture.

Discussion of results from our project helped to engage the students with understanding of the relationship between migration and health which supported the development of their study of the geography of health.
