Master of Science (Epidemiology)

Become a medical detective, tackling cases that impact global health.

This course, which includes a major research project, will take your expertise in epidemiology to an advanced level and prepare you for a research career.

You’ll study in the highly respected Population and Global Health School, with unique access to a vast range of resources and research areas of importance for public health in Australia and globally.
