Fully Funded Johnson & Johnson Scholarship in UK

Fully Funded Johnson & Johnson Scholarship in UK is the MSc Global Mental Health course which is a joint programme provided by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London (KCL). The programme of study aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to initiate, develop and oversee mental health programmes and/or policies in low-resource settings, as well as to conduct and critically evaluate research on global mental health. These skills and knowledge will make it possible for students to make valuable contributions in the domains of research, policy and practice as they relate to the discipline of global mental health.

Scholarship

The Janssen Global Mental Health Scholarship Fund was launched in 2012 through a generous donation from Janssen Pharmaceutica (part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies). To date, 18 students registered on the MSc Global Mental Health have benefited as a result of the scholarships. In 2018, we will be launching the Johnson & Johnson Scholarship Fund, which will provide an additional 18 scholarships over the next five years. This is an annual award until 2022 (for 2022-23 academic year).
