By the end of this course students will be able to: design and implement epidemiological studies and surveillance systems, analyse and interpret data from epidemiological studies, undertake risk analysis and apply this to animal health economics, apply epidemiological principles to disease control within animal and human populations, give pragmatic advice on animal health linked to welfare, production and public health, communicate effectively on the health of animal and human populations to a range of audiences, including the general public, farmers, researchers, politicians and other key policy makers.

Students must have a degree in medicine and be registered medical practitioners. Preference will be given to candidates who have at least two years of experience working in clinical medicine (in any country) with recent professional experience in a relevant discipline.
