Epidemiology investigates which factors protect, maintain or improve the health of individuals and population groups and which factors are harmful or cause disease. As socio-economic and environmental conditions change worldwide, new health risks are becoming increasingly important in different population groups. It is therefore particularly important to recognise emerging health or disease trends and their causes as quickly as possible. Epidemiological knowledge enables a better understanding of the dynamics of diseases and disease states and provides a solid scientific basis for health policy measures. Along with the methodological and analytical knowledge presented in this Master of Science programme, current topics in public health research and education will be offered, which reflect various possibilities for further specialisation. A focus on Epidemiology, Clinical Epidemiology and Genetic Epidemiology as well as Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology will be accommodated.
The Master's programme in Epidemiology is a two-year (120 ECTS) programme, divided into four semesters. During the programme students choose two specialisations (in the first and third semesters) and carry out two internships (duration: nine weeks each) in the second and third semesters.
