MSc Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases & Antimicrobial Resistance
Course Overview
This MSc program provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary education in the epidemiology of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the world's most pressing health challenges. Students will develop a unique skill set that combines epidemiological investigations, quantitative methods, and bioinformatics to tackle AMR from a global One Health perspective. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for impactful careers in both academic research and public health policy.
Key Program Highlights
- Royal Society of Biology accredited, advancing your path toward Chartered Biologist (CBiol) status.
- Gain hands-on experience in the state-of-the-art OHRBID laboratory, learning to identify genetic mechanisms of AMR.
- Master a multidisciplinary toolkit including epidemiological study design, statistical analysis, ecological modelling, and genomic data interpretation.
- Learn from leading experts in molecular epidemiology, modelling, and microbiology within a globally relevant One Health framework.
- Prepare for diverse career paths in national health agencies, global organizations (WHO, FAO), policy, industry, or academic research.
