Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM)
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), founded in 1898, was the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in the field of tropical medicine.
As a registered charity, we work across the world, often in very difficult circumstances, to fulfil our mission of reducing the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries. We do that through the delivery of effective interventions which improve human health and are relevant to the poorest communities.
Our work in combating diseases such as TB, HIV/AIDS, malaria, dengue and lymphatic filariasis is supported by a research order book of well over £210 million.
Our worldwide reputation and the calibre of our research outputs has secured funding to lead over 10 international consortia and product development partnerships aimed at reducing or eliminating the impact of diseases upon the world's poorest people.
Our state-of-the-art facilities continue to develop new drugs, vaccines and pesticides which put us at the forefront of infectious disease research.
As a teaching institution, we attract more than 600 students from 68 countries, from PhD research and Masters programmes to a range of professional courses, and work in partnership with health ministries, universities and research institutions worldwide to train the next generation of doctors, scientists, researchers and health professionals.
The provision of technical assistance is a major component of LSTM's mission of promoting the improved health of the poor and disadvantaged peoples. LSTM consultancy improves health systems in developing countries whilst helping to inform our teaching and research agendas.
Programs
Accommodation
Liverpool Student Homes (LSH) is a service owned and managed by University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool Hope University, LIPA, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and supported by their respective student unions.
LSTM recommends that you use LSH to find your accommodation as they only advertise accredited student properties and can help you to find good quality accommodation for the time that you will be studying. They offer short-term accommodation as well as longer length tenancies.
LSH are there to guide you as a student support service and can help if you run into problems while you are renting privately in Liverpool. LSH Housing Advisors can give guidance on disputes with landlords, deposits, contracts, property disrepair and more.
