  • Field of study
    • Target group Epidemiology work takes place at the interface between biomedical research and the health sciences, and generally aims to increasing knowledge with regard to the aetiology and spread of diseases, as well as with regard to diagnostic and prognostic challenges and scientific assessment of healthcare interventions. The course is therefore designed to give graduates high scientific competence and thereby qualify them to be able to methodically analyse epidemiological issues on a national and international level, to formulate research questions and to solve them using epidemiological methods. A further objective is to provide fundamental subject-specific and generic competence for application in scientific teaching and research, in clinical and pharmaceutical research and in public authorities, as well as to improve and ensure the epidemiological personnel structure both nationally and internationally.
