Term 1

In Term 1, you will develop a research proposal and attend seminars covering research design, ethics, integrity and analysis. The proposal provides the foundation for your project and develops skills that are transferable to future academic and professional work.

Throughout the year, you will participate in relevant seminar programmes. These will support the development of your project and broaden your understanding of the research environment within which it sits.

Terms 2 and 3

In Terms 2 and 3, you will select two elective modules from LSHTM’s intensive and/or distance learning module list, allowing you to extend your subject-specific knowledge.

• Check the intensive module list

Assessment takes place throughout the year and includes the research proposal, written assignments and oral presentations.
