Mission & Objectives

---

Epidemiology and biostatistics involve the theory and application of epidemiological and statistical science to understand determinants of disease, to prevent and control disease, to analyse biomedical problems and to further develop public health research. Epidemiology and biostatistics can be applied to a wide range of public health topics, chronic conditions, mental health problems, and social behaviours. Students can apply their training to describe the frequency and cause of disease in a population, to analyse and evaluate risk factors for a condition and examine health data for trends and to determine the effectiveness of interventions. The programme is geared towards training biomedical and sociomedical researchers and data analysts for public health agencies. Many of our graduates continue to doctoral studies or work in government agencies.

Mission & Objectives

---

Global public health is growing in prominence. Largescale migration, international trade agreements, urbanisation, climate change, international human rights and new integrated forms of global cyber-media all play key roles in determining the health in low and middle income countries. The need to address the health impact of disaster, to provide humanitarian aid, and to address the pervasive health inequalities that persist between high and low-income populations has never been greater. This concentration will allow students to examine these areas and gain familiarity with major contemporary global health issues. The concentration is multidisciplinary, integrating biomedical science, economics, ethics sociology, demography and policy perspectives. Students will have opportunities to put their skills into practice through international field studies and field action lab in rural China, Bangladesh, Bali and other regions. Graduates of this concentration often gain employment in international non-governmental organisations such as the Red Cross or work for international development organisations.
