The MSc Applied Epidemiology is designed to provide excellence in teaching of epidemiological and statistical concepts and methods, with an emphasis on the practical application of epidemiological methods in public health and clinical settings.

Epidemiology is the key scientific discipline underlying some of the most important areas of medicine, including public health, clinical research and clinical trials, and health services research.
