The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is Britain's national school of public health and a leading postgraduate institution in Europe for public health and tropical medicine. Part of the University of London, the School is an internationally recognized centre of excellence in public health, international health and tropical medicine with a remarkable depth and breadth of expertise. It is one of the highest-rated research institutions in the UK.
Its environment is a rich multicultural one: every year over 800 students come to the School from 120 countries. Staff are drawn from 37 nationalities. We collaborate in research with over 115 countries throughout the world, utilizing our critical mass of multidisciplinary expertise which includes clinicians, epidemiologists, statisticians, social scientists, molecular biologists and immunologists. As well as the high-calibre academic training offered by School staff, students also benefit from the broad range of professional and cultural experiences of their fellow students.
The School provides a national and international focus for collaboration in teaching and research where clinical, population, laboratory and social sciences are integrated to address the broad issues of health. The strength of these disciplines, combined in a single institution and tightly linked by a common mission, creates a unique multidisciplinary environment for teaching, training and research.
Research programmes (MPhil/PhD and DrPH) are multidisciplinary and range from basic laboratory studies to applied public health research and from disease specific to those that deal with environmental or behavioural risk factors. Few schools of public health can match the School's “cutting edge” research quality, productivity and breadth, and none has its international credentials.
The School offers 19 (one-year) Masters courses based in London, and four by Distance Learning.
A range of short courses covering all aspects of the School's work are offered throughout the year.
