LSHTM Scholarships

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) invites applications from candidates from Sub-Saharan Africa for fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships to start a research degree programme on 3 January 2022. There are three studentships available.

Funding

Each PhD studentship will comprise:

  • Up to GBP20,000 for research costs, travel and/or training

  • The role of hygiene in the prevention and transmission of infectious diseases and their consequences
  • Hygiene behaviors and hygiene behavior change
  • The intersection of hygiene and broader social and economic impacts

Eligibility requirements
