Course description

The MSc Epidemiology program includes five core methods modules, three advanced elective modules, a research project, and a master's thesis. The core methods modules aim to equip students with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical epidemiologic research methods. Each core module is worth 5 credits, totaling 25 credits. Full-time and part-time students are expected to complete these modules during the first and second semesters. The advanced elective modules allow students to explore their individual interests through 15 credits of coursework. These electives are categorized under "applied methods," "disease monitoring," and "applied epidemiology." The goal of these electives is to provide specialized methodological skills tailored to various fields of application.
