The great things about LSHTM are its reputation, opportunities for networking and cool location. The library could remain open for longer.

The best thing about my course is that it is very practical and almost all discussions have a real world implication. The worst thing is the complicated nature of scheduling and module selection, being a dual degree between LSHTM and LSE.

I love LSHTM. My experience is a bit different because I am a part time student. London is a great place to be a student because there is always something to do outside of campus but downsides being expensive. The location of LSHTM is great, right in the centre of London, UCL is close, senate house is across the road so you can get a nice study session in the library. There are also loads of study spaces at the school itself. There are loads of parks close as well so it’s nice to go there when the weather is nice for a break during the day. Only downsides is we don’t have a dedicated students Union but nonetheless there are still ways to socialise, get into uni life and get support if needed.

Public Health is taught via a mixture of online and in person classes but this is dependent on the modules you are taking. This method of teaching allows for flexibility in your schedule. There is also a wealth of resources you have access to and people will often share useful things on groupchats. Lecturers are always willing for you to contact them and our seminars help practically apply knowledge.
