The accessibility overall is what makes this a great place to study. We have access to the expertise of some the world's top professionals in the field of various disciplines such as public health and neglected tropical diseases. The location of the school is also in Central London and a short walk to the British Museum. It has a very family atmosphere with professors that actually care about your well-being. Although, it may be easy to miss LSHTM if not attentive when you are walking in the area because it is a smaller school and may be overshadowed by the UCL campus just a few minute walk away.
My programme this year has been mostly taught online so I would have preferred a bit more in person. However, I am very appreciative of how available my professors have been through email to set up any meetings if necessary. I have really enjoyed my lectures and professors and I feel very prepared for my future. It is amazing to see how much I have learned in just a few months.
Living in central London, it is no surprise that the cost of living is very high. However, I do have great access to public transportation around LSHTM and where I live in addition to part-time work opportunities. Also, London itself is a great hub for people from around the world. London, being such a large city, also comes with some risk as a woman but overall I feel safe walking around.
LSHTM exceeded my expectations. I came here for an educational opportunity and a degree, and I am gaining way more. Super interesting classmates, wonderful people, engaging curriculum, being taught by world-leading experts in the field, and so much more.
the multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach is impeccable. It is my dream course and I still have a pinch-me moment when I remember that I AM enrolled in it.
LSHTM is in the perfect location in Bloomsbury. It is so perfect that I decided to live in that area as well. Everything is within a walking distance and you get to explore so much of London's culture and west end shows because of that.
LSHTM is a great place to study. It is such an international school, making it an incredible experience. The staff are often leaders in their field and are really supportive and helpful. The facilities are very good, especially with COVID-19 as most lectures are now livestreamed for those who cannot join in person on the day. There are lots of study spaces throughout the building. The only improvement would be if there were clubs and societies. However, there are centres that students can get involved in and plenty of academic events to attend. The workload is tough but it is a great learning experience and there are student supports in place if it becomes too much. Overall, I can't recommend LSHTM highly enough!
The course is very full on with lots of contact time. There is a mix of in person and online teaching. There is facilities to join basically any class online if you are isolating. There are fascinating lectures, incorporating lots of group work. The lecturers are very helpful.
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.
LSHTM is an excellent school made up of simply amazing students. I’ve learned so much since starting the course here, from both my classes and my fellow students. The student body is diverse in background, and the classes are varied and give plenty of practical knowledge and experience to prepare you for the job market. Highly recommend LSHTM to anyone looking for a Masters in Public Health!
Modules are taught by enthusiastic expert lecturers. They’re incredibly fast paced, I don’t think I’ve ever learned so much in such a short period of time before.
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.
great quality of teaching and reputation. poor student experience
good online and in person teaching. renowned lecturers
great expertise and good lectures. no student union or fun student activities!
bit dry but interesting
best city on the world but busy and expensive
The university experience has been great - very different to a typical undergraduate experience but it feels as though we are at a centre of exciting research and surrounded by likeminded, intelligent and approachable people. It's been one of the best years of my life so far.
The facilities are very good - the main building is modern and light and there is always enough study space. There's also two good cafes, bike racks, showers and a scenic library.
The support is excellent - the small size of the university means that each student gets a lot of staff attention. Everyone has a personal tutor who provides academic and pastoral support. The university has a very good counselling service which provides free sessions to those in need and runs a free mindfulness course.
I don't get involved - the Student's Union is the University of London union which feels quite separate to LSHTM. I think because it's a postgraduate university the union doesn't feature much.
City life is great, but I'm from London so I am used to how hectic it is. I think it can be a bit overwhelming for people who are not used to being here. But if you throw yourself into everything London has to offer it's a lot of fun - though very expensive!
The clubs and societies are generally with the University of London Union - I am not involved and don't know what they are like. LSHTM has some student groups for those interested in specific research areas - such as Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health. These groups often host interesting events.
What I like most is that the course is intensive - there are a lot of contact hours which means that students get as much as possible out of the year. What I like least is that for the subjects that we learn in the first term we are not examined until seven months later.

The university has a great careers service with regular workshops and talks by people from various industries. It holds careers fairs and students can book one-to-one appointments for more personalised advice. It also provides transferrable skills training (such as Excel).
