Course Summary

Course overview

Acquire advanced skills in epidemiology and biostatistics on this Master's course.

You'll study the distribution and causes of diseases in populations and explore possible prevention and control strategies.

The course will build your core knowledge of research methods commonly applied in epidemiology and major disease studies. You'll apply these techniques to a variety of challenging epidemiological and biomedical problems.

You'll also examine emerging research and build expertise in core epidemiological and statistical concepts before embarking on an extended research project.

The four-month project allows you to explore an area of epidemiological research in further detail and is carried out under supervision at Imperial or with external research partners.

Modules

This module ensures students will be familiar with the core concepts of epidemiology and acquire the skills necessary to describe, analyse, interpret and appraise epidemiological studies. Further modules and projects require such knowledge, and a good grasp of these basics is thus essential for successful completion of the degree.
