Occasional studies

LSHTM aims to ensure that its range of taught and research programmes meet most training needs within its fields of expertise. The School is happy to respond to those who require training which differs from this; for example, academic supervision of a research project which forms part of a research degree at another institution (sometimes called a ‘split’ or ‘sandwich’ PhD). Other needs might be attendance at just one element of a course; laboratory training in a particular research technique; or training for workers at a newly-established health facility in a developing country. Occasional study placements can vary in length and tuition will be charged accordingly.
