Overview
Epidemiology – the study of patterns and causes of diseases in human populations – is the underpinning science for clinical and public health research. Infectious disease epidemiologists integrate understanding across biology, society, and the environment to help control infections, addressing important global health challenges.
You will learn how to design and conduct epidemiological investigations, and how to analyse and critically interpret data to identify patterns and associations through studying the effects of antimicrobial resistance, climate change, changes in the vectors that transmit infections, population movement, and access to and uptake of interventions such as vaccines. You will learn how to apply this learning to mitigate the global health impact of infections.
This MSc will equip you with core skills and understanding of epidemiology, statistics, and data science, alongside learning about host and pathogen biology and broader social, economic, and cultural influences on infectious diseases. You will tailor your MSc course to your own needs and interests, choosing optional modules such as climate change, disease modelling, global eradication of viruses, health economics, digital health, and evaluation of public health interventions, among others.
Employability
The Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology programme offered at the University College London ( UCL ) will equip you to start your career as an infectious disease epidemiologist, analyst or data scientist. You will develop the diverse set of skills needed to approach complex infectious disease problems, relevant for a wide range of careers within epidemiology and public health.
Your training in quantitative methods and epidemiology, in addition to your understanding of how the biology of microorganisms impact on transmission dynamics and infection control, will be highly valued in a world where infectious disease outbreaks are likely to become more common.
