All of the Bloomsbury DTC's subject pathways and modes of provision at PhD level have been recognised, and the Centre will have a total of 26 studentships per annum to disburse over the next five years, commencing in October 2011. Staff in the four institutions have already begun work on the process of allocating studentships to specific pathways, and will advertise for this year's studentship applications in the very near future.

Our postgraduate taught courses provide health practitioners, clinicians, policy-makers, scientists and recent graduates with a world-class qualification in public and global health.
