Do you want to study flexibly and in privacy by distance learning but do not have the time or funding available for a full MSc?

All of the modules that comprise our distance learning programme can be studied on an individual basis or as themed groups. A list of the individual modules available can be found here: http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/short/shortcourseunits_distance.html.

The modules and themed groups of modules enable participants to refresh their skills or develop new skills, and to keep in touch with the latest research and knowledge underlying efforts to improve public health worldwide.

Themes

The three themes available are Epidemiology and Statistics for Health, Key Infectious Diseases and Health Economics. Suggested combinations of modules are given within each theme webpage, including some cross-cutting theme combinations.

Who Should Apply

The modules and themes are suitable for professionals who wish to refresh or modernise their skills in key areas without taking a full postgraduate course. These include those working in NGOs, government health departments, clinicians, researchers, scientists or other professionals who are exposed to some of the topics covered and wish to learn more. Further information can be found in each of the theme webpages.
