The programme will improve your knowledge, skills and competencies to design and conduct epidemiological research addressing questions on etiology, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment or prognosis of disease (illness) or on enhancing or maintaining health. You will immediately learn to translate it into practice and policy to improve the health of people and populations. The program seeks to provide the basic and advanced skills and competencies to design and conduct epidemiological research. In contrast to the master in epidemiology, the postgraduate program does not include a dissertation.

A passionate, dedicated, and caring team with a wide range of expertise in epidemiology supports the postgraduate programme. In addition, it will be embedded within the Master of Epidemiology (MEPI), which is valued for its solid and specific profile and is unique in Flanders. The postgraduate programme will have participants with diverse backgrounds, creating an inspiring and international classroom.

The program is open to professionals, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers. Candidates are graduates holding a master's diploma in a biomedical field. Experience in medicine, biomedical sciences or public health is required.
