Student blogs

The DTMH Blogs 2019 - are now located here

Welcome to the LSTM student blog site. Our bloggers will share their stories about what led them to study at LSTM as well as their experiences on the various courses. We think that it is a great way to learn more about studying at LSTM or the course you might be interested in applying for – from someone who is actually on the course. More subjects and new bloggers will be added regulary so be sure to come back often.
