It’s why we’re involved in collaborative research with clinicians, policy makers, and community partners. We’re leaders in health research, both nationally and internationally. As a result, our graduates are highly sought after.
Core subjects include Epidemiology and Biostatistics, while our range of specialist electives include fascinating areas, like Disease Surveillance, Environmental Epidemiology and Research Protocol Design.
