Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

The Commonwealth Scholarship has afforded me the opportunity to pursue the prestigious Clinical Trials by Distance Learning at LSHTM. My choice was meticulously made, guided by the institution's global standing, program specifics, networking prospects, and influential alumni network. I thrived in the self-paced, distance learning format, balancing work and study. I did well managing my job and my studies while learning at my own pace and from a distance. Talking to people from around the world made my experience better.

Any extra information

For students, particularly those enrolled in a distance learning program, I strongly recommend initiating the learning process early. Starting early is highly advantageous, as it allows ample time to grasp and effectively navigate the available resources before establishing a productive and personalized study routine.
