In recent years LSHTM has expanded its portfolio of collaborative courses and programmes delivered with partner institutions and bodies. These partners include other colleges of the University of London, universities in the UK and overseas and other bodies (for example research centres).

All collaborative provision must be approved according to the procedures outlined in Chapter 6 of the LSHTM Academic Manual, which sets out the processes and procedures for establishing and managing courses, programmes and modules delivered with partners. The following templates and forms will need to be completed as part of this process.
