International Development pathway

The LSHTM Department of Global Health and Development is structured around nine research groups:  Health Systems: Financing, Governance, Private Sector and Quality of Care; Macro-economic Modelling of Health and Health Policy;  Political Economy of Health and Health Policy; Evaluation of Social and Population Health Interventions; Gender Violence and Health; Child Protection Research Group; Anthropological Approaches to Global Health; and Medical Humanitarianism. We also have a Communicable Diseases Policy Research Group which is based in Bangkok. 

The Department of Global Health and Development (GHD) focuses on novel and policy-relevant research and training to achieve impact at national and global levels. Our work, predominantly concerning low and middle-income countries, spans health policy and systems research, economic evaluation, gender violence and violence in childhood, and medical humanitarianism.

Routes

All routes within the ID pathway are available in 1+3 and +3 structures.  All 1+3 structures include an MSc or MRes degree programme with methods training to support doctoral studies, plus a dissertation designed to consolidate students’ learning and provide the opportunity to pilot a PhD project.  The +3 structure is available to students who have already completed a Masters with appropriate training.  For more information on the different routes available, please see the Preliminary Application Guidance which can be found on the UBEL ESRC DTP website.

Topics

This is an open competition for ESRC studentships on any topic that falls within the remit of the pathway.  In order to progress through the preliminary and final selection process you will need to contact a relevant staff member at the School who would be willing to be your supervisor and support your application.

Interested students should approach potential supervisors at the School to discuss their research projects in the first instance; to make direct contact with prospective supervisors you can search for staff members and their interests via the Department of Global Health & Development and the School’s Research Centres on the School’s website.

Please contact the DTP representative if you have any queries – Dr Loraine J Bacchus (Loraine.Bacchus@lshtm.ac.uk).
