Master in Epidemiology Statistics

Data is central to modern health interventions, from vaccine development and pandemic response to clinical care and climate-related health initiatives. Understanding the numerical foundations of these challenges is essential for improving global health outcomes. This three-week intensive course provides a rigorous foundation in the complementary disciplines of epidemiology and medical statistics, equipping participants with the practical tools necessary to interpret complex healthcare data.

Designed for clinicians, PhD students, and health research professionals, the programme bridges the gap between theoretical study design and practical data analysis. Participants learn to navigate the research process—from initial study design to the final interpretation of statistical outputs—while avoiding common methodological pitfalls. Taught by experts from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the course utilizes real-world examples and hands-on training in STATA and R to prepare students for the demands of contemporary public health research.

A Collaborative Learning Environment

Beyond the technical curriculum, the programme fosters a supportive, international community of practitioners. Whether you are looking to refine your research methods, explore the field before pursuing a Master’s degree, or gain confidence in evidence-based medicine, this course offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles required to turn data into actionable policy and practice.
