Student Profile(s)
Caroline Hempleman

One of the coolest things about LSHTM is that students really come from all walks of life. You’ll be in class with a doctor, a midwife, a sexual health consultant, and someone fresh out of undergrad. While that may sound like it could be intimidating, it makes you realise everyone brings their own strengths to the table.
I did not do much of any math during my undergraduate degree (I took one class called ‘The Spirit of Mathematics’ so I could graduate) so jumping back into statistics, epidemiology, and demographic methods was quite challenging, but has been rewarding. I had anticipated that those courses would be the most challenging for me, but I wanted to add quantitative skills to my more qualitative background so that I can go into the world with understanding of how the numbers on a table impact individual experiences. I have learned so much about the importance of demographers in formulating conversations and change regarding health and health systems.
