The LSHTM Careers Service provides a range of services for all intensive master's, research degree and diploma students at LSHTM, as well as those who have graduated from the London campus within the past 2 years. Through our Careers Consultants you can access support to help you explore career options and move ahead in your career or further study. Distance Learning students can use our online resources, including online events and workshops (both live and recorded) and information on career options, job hunting, applications and interviews.
To view our programme of workshops and events and to access careers resources please go to the Careers Service on Moodle.
- Appointments with a Careers Consultant
-
30 minute one-to-one appointments, available Monday to Friday. You do not need to know what career option you want to pursue in order to come for a careers appointment. They can be used for anything from exploring initial ideas to reviewing an application you are about to submit.
Practice interviews. These give you a chance to practise answering possible interview questions, receive feedback to hone your technique and discuss effective preparation for your forthcoming interview.
Current students can book appointments via Moodle. If you have already graduated from LSHTM please email careers@lshtm.ac.uk to book.
