Global Health and Social Medicine welcomes applications to join our lively and mutually supportive community of doctoral students. Working on and across our key research themes, the growing community is co-located in our research lab with visiting researchers, research fellows and professors. Students benefit from our active participation in the London Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Doctoral Training Centre (LISS-DTP), which provides training and leadership in relevant cross-cutting themes. Within Global Health and Social Medicine, we also offer a thriving programme of workshops, reading groups and other events.
