Student testimonials
“The course gave me an excellent foundation in quantitative analyses, particularly for mathematical modelling and use of statistical programmes. I am particularly happy that they used R as the stats programme given its flexibility. My work now includes more qualitative research but I continue to use the quantitative skills I learnt in this Masters.”
James Rudge (graduated 2005)
After graduating, James completed his PhD at Imperial College and continued his career as an Overseas Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
“I was an Overseas student. Earning my MSc Modern Epidemiology degree in England was one of the best things I ever did! The exposure you get to the latest research and greatest minds in the field is invaluable. On several occasions since graduating, I have encountered people I work with in public health that are familiar with the research of my professors. I did not realize it would be so well known outside of Europe!”
