Epidemiology MA

Our master’s programme in Epidemiology offers students the chance to learn how to analyse different problems in health-related fields and how to plan, execute, and interpret studies. Over the course of two years, students learn about the relationships between diseases and the risk factors that lead to ill-health as well as how to recognise diseases trends, to apply health prevention and promotion approaches, and to determine the prognostic value and the influence of therapeutics on patient quality of life. Students also study the relationship between diseasaes, an individual’s genetic predisposition, and influential environmental factors. In the second and third semester students gain practical experience through two mandatory internships.

The programme is structured in accordance with the Bologna Process. A total of 120 ECTS credits must be acquired over four semesters. All lectures, courses and seminars are held in English. In the electives, students also have the opportunity to choose courses in German from the Public Health master's programme.
