The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is one of three departments that form the mainstay of the interdisciplinary pathway in Development and Humanitarianism, in partnership with the Institute of Development Policy and Management (IDPM) and the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) at the University of Manchester, and the University of Lancaster.
Funding is available through the North West Doctoral Training Centre (NWDTC), created by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), which provides PhD students with access to quality research training in social science disciplines.
Students will have access to research expertise across the three Universities, allowing them to take advantage of a variety of study in social sciences, as well as in subjects where scientists are collaborating with colleagues from other disciplines such as medicine and the arts.
