The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is a postgraduate and research institution specialising in public and global health. Founded in 1899, it has over 1,000 Master’s and research students enrolled in London and another 3,000 taking courses via distance learning.
The School’s global outreach is huge, with centres around the world focusing on areas such as malaria, tuberculosis, tropical epidemiology, non-communicable diseases, global mental health, mathematical modelling, evaluation of public health interventions, and maternal, reproductive, adolescent and child health. The director, Professor Peter Piot, co-discovered the Ebola virus and was founding director of UNAIDS and Under Secretary-General of the United Nations.
More than 600 academic staff are based across three faculties:
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is continuing to expand and is developing a new Research Institute that will bring together the largest concentration of infectious disease researchers in the world.
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine does not have its own accommodation, but does have a small selection of rooms in the University of London intercollegiate halls. The student support team are also happy to assist new students with help and advice on accommodation.
My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
