Coming straight from University, I was worried that I would be too young and inexperienced for the Masters in Humanitarian Studies. However, this year has been an incredible experience, and I have been able to expand my knowledge base beyond all expectations.
Learning in a small group environment with people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and cultures is invaluable and so enriching. The highlight for me was being able to carry out research overseas, and be encouraged to explore my interests.
The Masters course gave me the opportunity to improve on a degree to improve my prospects within scientific research. The variety of the modules helped improve my knowledge of some of the fundamental basics important for biological research while maintaining a strong focus on a fascinating study area.
Excellent overall!
Thoroughly fantastic experience. Enjoyable, informative and inspiring. Thank youGood value for money, excellent course, lots of interesting topics and fun also!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and found the content interesting and inspiring, as were the lecturers. I would and have fully recommended this course to others (DTM&H)

The LSTM teaching and learning model supported my needs and facilitated a journey of both personal and academic transformation. The Programme's lecturers were of the highest academic standard, yet were also humble and approachable - every learner's dream.

I met amazing friends from all over the world and experienced lecturers who inspired me in a very positive way here at LSTM. A wide variety of topics covered in each session gave me an additional interest in the field of public health, which has enabled me to have a clear picture of my future career options.
One of my most memorable experiences from LSTM was meeting other fantastic MIPH students; it has been wonderful being a part of this great and amazing class. We have helped one another throughout the year and we ended up bonding like a family. What impressed me the most was LSTM’s ability to source for topics and co-ordinate overseas projects for students outside their home countries; co-ordinating these projects can be rather challenging but somehow students are all taken care of and are able to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom even before they graduate from the institution.
Academically I feel I have acquired a solid understanding of research methodology and a confidence to use these new research skills in the future. The course has encouraged me to question the evidence behind decisions I make as a doctor on a daily basis, the policies I previously simply accepted and the best methods to improve clinical care. I have learnt to think about medical practice and health in a much broader context and to think in terms of translational medicine. For me LSTM’s greatest strength is its staff. I have felt privileged to have been taught by so many experienced, inspirational and gifted teachers, who are able to pass on their passion for their subject and always have time to help students
