This led me to want to attend the School to acquire the skills that would enable me to adopt a population-based approach to health and health issues. The dream became a reality when I was awarded a Leverhulme Scholarship. The School is rightly accorded a high international reputation. It is a leading centre of academic excellence and unique in teaching and course organisation. Interaction between staff members and students is outstanding.
Facilities are excellent and readily accessible.
From my own experience, I know that the School is also concerned about students' welfare. The opportunity to meet with students and staff from diverse backgrounds across the world, provides a unique academic environment. My prior belief in the School has been further heightened by my experience. The portfolio of courses covers the major components of public health and tropical medicine, and offers challenge, choice and individual learning opportunities. A strong management structure underpins this teaching programme to ensure that students' needs are met and that academic standards are maintained.
