MSc Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Masters Degree Description

Infectious disease epidemiology is the study of how infections spread, how they cause ill-health in populations and how they can be controlled. Epidemiologists help track, analyse and combat infectious diseases, preventing outbreaks and improving healthcare strategies. Through this work, they save millions of lives. This one-year Master’s degree draws upon the expertise of UCL's world-leading researchers in both infectious diseases, and in epidemiological methods for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
