🎉 Welcome to the MSc IHTM class of 2026/27!

This year's cohort brings together 21 students from 16 countries, from Bhutan to Botswana and Sierra Leone to the Philippines. Between them they have led outbreak responses, run district health systems, founded NGOs and shaped national policy.

Students joined the programme’s annual leadership retreat held at the The Pitt Rivers Museum and Rhodes House. The day gave students a chance to get to know one another, meet the IHTM team and reflect on the different experiences they bring to the programme.
