Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
Studying in LSHTM was one of my dreams since 2018, when I knew the fame of the school. Among the many modules, I would like to study in MSc Public Health for Global Practice, which I have had many experiences in the NGO field, especially in low- and middle-income countries such as Mongolia, Myanmar, Laos, etc. With my background, since I started my career in this field in 2014, I have believed that health access is important for everyon,e including marginalized people, and I also would like to contribute to making it. I am sure the LSHTM could be the best choice for me to improve myself.
Extra information
Before I came to London, I was unsure that I could study in London with other students from around the world. However, there is much support from the School and my lovely cohorts so that I could get used to here quickly.
