MSc (Research) Infectious Disease
Course Overview
This course offers a highly interdisciplinary exploration of infectious disease, integrating quantitative modelling, ecology, and immunology to understand and combat pathogens in both animal and human populations. The curriculum is deeply rooted in a One-Health approach, focusing on endemic diseases, zoonoses, and antimicrobial resistance within their natural and social contexts. Students will engage in research that combines cutting-edge computational and field-based methods to address real-world public health and conservation challenges.
Key Program Highlights
- Interdisciplinary curriculum blending mathematical modelling, ecology, evolution, and social sciences
- Focus on real-world applications including zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and vaccine development
- Training in advanced quantitative methods like Bayesian inference, phylodynamics, and network analysis
- Opportunities for field research in both UK and international settings on endemic and neglected diseases
- One-Health approach connecting wildlife health, domestic animals, and human populations
