Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

LSHTM provides a unique learning environment, rich with experience from its incredible faculty as well as its diverse student body. The MSc Medical Parasitology and Entomology provides flexibility for students to dive deeply into specific subjects of interest, while still providing a robust and well-roundest curriculum that equips us with technical laboratory skills, as well as the analytical and critical thinking skills to address complex, interdisciplinary issues of disease and vector control.
