Our Welcome Fair is the equivalent of a "freshers' fair", where you can find out more about the student services available to you and opportunities to get involved at LSHTM. Virtual Zoom stands will be open throughout the sessions so you can drop in and out of calls at your own pace, visit as many of the stands as you like and ask your questions.
There will be two sessions taking place, on Thursday 12th October 2023, 11:30-12:30 and 16:00-17:00 UK time (BST). Many of the stalls will be present at both sessions but some may only attend once. Read through the descriptions below to find out who you can meet at each stall.
The common password for all sessions will be emailed to new students. Please click the links in the descriptions below to join.
- LSHTM Centres
Centres exist to facilitate multi-disciplinary interactions that draw on expertise from across LSHTM. The 13 Centres support the our mission and strategy through collaborative approaches, innovative thinking and by providing an intellectual environment that encourages innovation in methodology, tools, technology, policy and practice to help meet global health challenges. They are wider in scope than research programmes and draw together expertise in strategically important areas.
