Course description:
At the start of the master’s programme students are expected to have a bachelor level in infection and immunity, epidemiology and biostatistics. To ensure a comparable starting level with all students the master programme starts with a one week refresher course. If students did not take classes on one of those subjects during their bachelor, they will have to prepare these disciplines by self-study. In this way they can work on possible deficiencies in time. The course will start with a diagnostic test to check the student’s knowledge and to indicate where possible deficiencies lie. Over the week Q&A sessions will be organized to amend these deficiencies. At the end of the week a diagnostic test will be assessed again.
 
Literature/study material used:
  • Epidemiology: an introduction by Kenneth J Rothman
  • Modern Infectious Disease Epidemiology edited by Krämer et al.
