Dear All,
I would like to draw your attention to the following course and to ask you to forward it to those who might be interested.
Thank you
The School of Public Health at Imperial College, London offer a Masters course in Modern Epidemiology beginning on 3rd October 2011 and seek highly motivated applicants with a good degree in a relevant discipline.
MODERN EPIDEMIOLOGY (MSc)
Director, Professor Elio Riboli
The MSc programme offers outstanding education and training in the methodology, design, conduct and interpretation of epidemiological studies on chronic and infectious diseases.
The Course focuses on advanced quantitative methods to: investigate disease risk factors; model disease trends over time and space; calculate epidemiological estimates of the public health impact of disease; evaluate the impact of disease prevention, early diagnoses and treatment.
In the first term, students will follow a common core pathway covering the following elements: Epidemiological methods (led by Professor Elio Riboli), Biostatistics (led by Professors Deborah Ashby and Nicky Best), Infectious Disease Epidemiology (led by Dr Nicholas Grassly), Chronic Disease Epidemiology (led by Professor Paolo Vineis and Dr Anna Hansell).
In the second terms, student will have the option of either continuing their studies in a common pathway or to follow one of three specialised streams in:
Biostatistics (led by Professor Sylvia Richardson) oriented towards skills in data analyses using regression techniques, multilevel modelling, Bayesian statistical modelling, spatial analysis;
Environmental and Chronic Disease Epidemiology (led by Professor Paul Elliott) oriented towards methods for environmental exposure and risk assessment; nutritional epidemiology; cardiovascular, respiratory disease, cancer and diabetes epidemiology;
Infectious Disease Epidemiology (led by Dr Nicholas Grassly) oriented towards mathematical modelling of infectious disease dynamics, statistical analysis of infectious disease data, pathogen population genetics, and interventions for disease control.
In the third term, students will work under supervision to write a dissertation on a topic of their choice. The course will end with the presentation of the student's dissertation in September 2012.
