LSHTM for the MPH 2026-27

Hello folks,

Has anyone received an offer letter from LSHTM for the MPH 2026-27 intake?
I’ve applied to several universities for my MPH degree. Thankfully, I’ve already received offers from others, but not from LSHTM yet. Since the application opened last month, I was just wondering if anyone has heard back from them.

Also, I’d appreciate any advice on applying for a PhD.
I’m considering pursuing a PhD in Social Policy, potentially right after completing my Master’s. I won’t have anything left after my Master’s, but there are chances to secure a fully funded scholarship with a stipend. I can’t wait several years for my thesis to be published and start my research. I already have some ideas for my PhD dissertation (I might even try to publish them before the Doctoral dissertation, after discussing them with my supervisor).

My concern is that Master’s programs in the UK only take one year. I’m unsure whether professors from UK universities would be willing to write recommendation letters for my PhD application.
