MSc Control of Infectious Diseases | Master's degree | Health & Well-Being | On Campus | 1 - 2 Years | London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine | United Kingdom

This is a multidisciplinary program that bridges the fields of epidemiology, laboratory sciences and public health in the context of disease control. It includes a strong practical component and the opportunity to undertake a research project overseas with collaborating public health or research organisations and NGOs. The program trains students in all aspects of the control of infectious diseases and prepares them for a career in a range of organisations. This program will equip students with specialised skills that will facilitate a career in the control of infectious diseases as staff of health ministries, health departments, national or international disease control agencies, aid organisations or universities. The majority of the research projects are performed overseas, with collaborating public health or research organisations and NGOs. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this overseas opportunity, which is crucial to the nature of the course.
