Master’s degrees

Learn from researchers shaping global health

Our master’s programmes are taught by researchers and practitioners who are working right now to improve health outcomes in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

You’ll learn from people leading work in:

• Malaria and neglected tropical diseases – developing vaccines, tools and control strategies
• Health systems and policy – strengthening care where resources are limited
• Humanitarian health – supporting communities affected by conflict and emergencies
• Snakebite and neglected diseases – improving access to life-saving treatment
• Maternal, newborn and child health – reducing preventable illness and deaths
• Antimicrobial resistance – tackling drug-resistant infections
• Climate and health – understanding and responding to environmental impacts on health
• Community health – building services that are resilient and locally led

How our research supports your learning

Your teaching is grounded in real-world work, including:

• Case studies drawn from current projects across the globe
• Practical learning using current diagnostic approaches and tools (for on-campus programmes)
• Dissertation opportunities linked to active research programmes
• Guest sessions with international partners, NGO practitioners and policy advisers

From master’s to PhD

Many of our master’s graduates go on to PhD study with LSTM. It’s a natural next step if you want to build your research experience and contribute to work that reduces disease burden and strengthens health systems worldwide.
