- Description/content
- The Master of Science in Epidemiology is a postgraduate Master’s programme that offers students an advanced interdisciplinary education to focus their methodological knowledge and expand their competencies in epidemiologic research.
The programme is designed for inspired mid-career professionals from the fields of medical and natural sciences, social sciences, IT, or mathematics who want to make a difference in clinical and population health.
The extensive collaborations with public health and health policy institutions ensure that coursework reflects current developments in research and scientific professional practice. Classes are taught by experienced faculty from the Charité and partnering institutions such as the Robert Koch Institute, the Max Delbrück Center, the Berlin Institute of Health, Bayer AG, and the Hasso Plattner Institute.
Graduates will be qualified to pursue careers as research scientists in clinical trials, outbreak investigation, infection control, or disease monitoring in academia or with government agencies.
