Course Summary

Course overview:

Receive broad training for a career in biomedical research specialising in infectious disease epidemiology on this Master's course. You'll explore how epidemiological analysis and mathematical modelling can inform public health decisions and provide inference on infectious disease transmission. It also provides expert training to prepare you for a career in public health in a number of key areas of biomedical research. These include infectious disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling and statistics, genetics and evolution, and computational methods. You'll complete two five-month research projects and build transferable skills through grant writing, technical workshops, and journal clubs.

Is this stream for you?

The Epidemiology stream is aimed at students with a background in biology or biomedical science who are interested in gaining skills in quantitative methods applied to infectious disease epidemiology, as well as those with a background in mathematical sciences, physics or computing who are interested in applying their technical skills to infectious disease epidemiology.

This stream is delivered by the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction in collaboration with the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and the School of Public Health.
