Additional costs to studentsMSc Tropical Disease Biology The tuition fee covers the cost of the induction field course, but students may wish to bring a small amount of spending money for social events. The tuition fee also covers the cost of a laboratory-based or desk-based project in LSTM. Some projects also involve a short period of data collection overseas (normally 2-4 weeks). Overseas or field projects will incur costs such as transport, accommodation, hiring translators, travel in-country, visas, vaccinations and possibly fees for ethics applications. Costs, depending on duration, nature of fieldwork and complexity of the project can range from £1,500-£5,000. Students are not required to pay these additional costs at registration but must have the necessary funds available in March-May when booking travel, accommodation etc. LSTM will provide comprehensive insurance for off-site work and cover the cost of this. There may also be course-relevant and social trips, which are optional for students to attend, and which may have costs attached.
Master of Research (MRes) The tuition fee covers the cost of a desk-based, laboratory-based or field-based research project. A limited number of projects will include an element of overseas data collection and in this case flights, local travel, field staff and equipment / consumable costs will be covered, up to an agreed maximum budget of £4,000. You may also need to cover the costs of antibody testing and/or vaccinations needed for laboratory projects. Students are not required to pay this additional fee at registration but must have the necessary funds available when they start the programme. As with other programmes, if students choose an overseas project there will be additional costs to cover (see below). There may also be course-relevant and social trips, which are optional for students to attend and may have costs attached.
All other Master’s level programmes (MSc, MPH) The tuition fee covers the cost of a desk-based project based in LSTM. Depending on your previous experience you may be able to undertake a lab-based project which will incur an additional fee, called a bench fee, which will be approximately £1,500. You may also need to cover the costs of antibody testing and/or vaccinations needed for laboratory projects. Students are not required to pay this additional fee at registration but must have the necessary funds available when they start the programme. LSTM can also help students to arrange a field-based project overseas (typically four weeks) and students are encouraged to take this opportunity if your funds allow. Overseas projects will incur costs such as flights accommodation, hiring translators, travel in-country, visas, vaccinations, possibly fees for ethics applications so costs, depending on duration, nature of fieldwork and complexity of project can range from £3,000-£5,000). LSTM will provide comprehensive insurance for off-site work and cover the cost of this. While LSTM provides access to the main scientific software packages you will need, occasionally some students use specialist software for their dissertations beyond those that LSTM provide and there could be a subscription fee, although there is often a free trial period and you should check this in advance. There may also be course-relevant and social trips, which are optional for students to attend, and which may have costs attached. |
