Gain expertise in studying the connections between dietary intake, nutritional status, and health outcomes. We equip future epidemiologists with the skills to conduct observational and intervention studies, leading to innovative disease prevention and health promotion approaches. Explore the aetiology of diet-related diseases, preventive strategies, and curative treatments. Through epidemiology, enhance your understanding of maintaining good health, quantifying the impact of public health interventions, and influencing individual and environmental outcomes.
The MSc Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health programme trains future epidemiologists in observational and intervention studies to find novel ways to preventing disease and promoting health. This will be based on studying the causes of diet related diseases (from a biomedical perspective), the strategies for prevention in the community setting (from a behavioural and environmental perspective) and treatment in the curative setting (from a clinical perspective). The course focus on understanding of maintaining good health and disease causes, and help quantify the impact of public health interventions on individual and environmental outcomes.
You will learn:
- Take several courses in epidemiology, learning what it is and how to run solid data analyses on epidemiological data.
- Build a strong foundation in statistics to understand and interpret health data.
- Learn how to assess and evaluate dietary intake and someone’s nutritional status.
- Explore nutritional physiology and learn how to set up a randomised controlled trial.
- Discover how diet, lifestyle and body composition influence the prevention and progression of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes and how these conditions are treated.
- Get introduced to the public health cycle, a model used to plan, carry out and evaluate public-health policies and programmes.
