Overview

The objective of the Health Sciences - Epidemiology programme from Erasmus University Rotterdam can focus on any of these topics but what distinguishes it from other majors is an emphasis on methodology.

Key facts

Epidemiology has a rich history of methodological innovation and an epidemiologist with strong knowledge of epidemiologic methods significantly broadens their potential career trajectories because this knowledge can be applied to many different fields within epidemiology, public health and even beyond. Their knowledge allows them to ask clear research questions, suggest the best way to address them and provide careful, nuanced answers.

This additional focus on methods takes the form of suggested electives targeted more at methodological topics and thesis projects that have a novel methodological aspect to them. This novel aspect most often is in the form of applying an existing method to a new research question.
