MSc and MPhil/PhD in Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes and effects of health and disease in a given population. Epidemiologists design studies, collect data, perform statistical analysis, interpret and disseminate research results and develop policy. Persons can come to epidemiology from a variety of backgrounds including health (animal or human), science and technology (including the biomedical sciences) and social sciences (psychology, demography, economics) and use it to enhance their existing careers or develop new competences.
