Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine | International

International

Ever since its founding in 1898, LSTM has been at the forefront of providing scientific evidence to translate relevant science into policies and practices. We do that by working collaboratively in over 70 countries to fulfil our mission of improving the health of the world’s poorest people.

Our multidisciplinary approach to global health research allows us to translate research innovation and scientific breakthroughs from laboratory research into effective interventions for those most in need.

Born out of the shipping industry, LSTM attracts talented researchers and students from around the world. With a research portfolio in excess of £320 million, LSTM has created and sustained a reputation for scientific excellence and continues to offer unrivalled learning opportunities to post-graduate students who study both in the UK and across the developing world.

As one of the few postgraduate centres of excellence in the field of tropical medicine we are enthusiastic about offering our unrivalled learning opportunities to students within the UK and across the developing world, to provide them with the opportunity to excel in their careers in public health, medicine and academia.
