Whether you aim to conduct ground-breaking research, enhance clinical outcomes, or influence public health policy and practice, our programme provides the knowledge and tools to tackle contemporary population health challenges and propel your career forward.

Career opportunities

Graduating from the Epidemiology (Online Learning) programme from The University of Edinburgh at the University of Edinburgh opens doors to a wide range of career paths in both public and private sectors.

Epidemiologists work for national, international, public and private organisations involved in the study of patterns of health and disease in populations. They also work for other government bodies. Universities and research institutions employ lecturers within the field of public health and epidemiology, as well as researchers working on specific projects.

The private sector, especially global pharmaceutical companies, also employs epidemiologists with strong commercial awareness. Clinical scientist positions, specialising in infection sciences, are also available at hospitals.
