Short Courses in Epidemiology and Biostatistics

The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care offer courses and degrees across all areas of public health practice.  We offer all students grounding in professionally recognized competencies and in areas increasingly recognized as core to public health.  We are also offer courses in areas of special interest – including epidemiology, environmental health, health promotion, health management.  

Short courses are available either as stand alone opportunities or as a component part of certificate, diploma or degree programmes within the School. They aim to provide continuing education opportunities for those interested in health and healthcare as well as provide training including public health perspectives and skills necessary to assume effective leadership in public health practice, reflecting the three domains of health improvement, health protection and health service quality.
