Master of Science [M.Sc] (Public Health for Development)
Field of Study:
Students on the MSc fromÊLondon School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicin have substantial experience of planning or implementing public health programmes, of teaching or public-health-related research and wish to hone their critical professional skills. They have been based in low- or middle-income countries for two years or more, engaged in public health efforts in a range of contexts which may include Ministries of Health or NGOs in stable states, conflict areas or humanitarian relief.ÊÊ
