MSc in Medical Parasitology
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
There are still places available for this post-graduate course starting in
September 2001. Minimal entry requirements are a class 2:2 degree or
appropriate training and experience. This course provides core training in
the theoretical and practical aspects of classical medical parasitology
covering the protozoan and metazoan parasites of humans and the vectors
which may transmit them. The choice of six study units from a wide range of
options provides more specialised training in such topics as diagnostic,
molecular, immunological and control aspects of the subject. Some of the
study units focus on practical skills and much of the summer is devoted to
an extended project. The course provides both vocational training for
clinicians, medical parasitologists or teachers and initial training in
research for students wishing to enter PhD programmes.
