Studying at the London School give students access to a wealth of knowledge, to the expertise of the staff and to unparalleled benefits gained from contact with people from very diverse backgrounds and nations. The diversity of the School's students and staff is exceptional; 1600 Masters and research staff come from 122 countries and staff from 37. Alumni work in more than 167 countries and many hold prominent positions in health ministries, universities, hospitals and international organizations throughout the world. The School has a global reputation in the field of medical parasitology, with unrivalled experience in malaria research as well as major programmes on leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, and gut protozoa. Field studies and trials are enabled by an extensive network of collaborations with institutions across the world; while our excellently equipped modern laboratories support cutting edge research in parasite immunology, molecular biology, genetics, diagnostics and chemotherapy. MSc in Medical Parasitology There are still places available for this post-graduate course starting in September 2003. Minimal entry requirements are a class 2:2 degree or appropriate training and experience. This multidisciplinary 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. Students then choose six study units from a wide range of options providing more specialised training in such topics as diagnostic, molecular, immunological and control aspects of the subject. A one week residential field course provides further practical experience of parasite sampling and identification techniques. Much of the summer is devoted to an extended project, often carried out in an endemic country. The course provides both vocational training for clinicians, medical parasitologists or teachers and initial training in research for students wishing to enter PhD programmes.
