Overview

This Eco-Epidemiology of Emerging Diseases program from University of Montpellier provides a synthetic approach. It integrates all relevant scientific skills and tools (including biology, statistics, bioinformatics as well as human sciences concepts) in different contexts and concrete needs of public health. Thus, Eco-EPIED is a One Health program dedicated to research and its concrete applications.

Recognized research units in Montpellier dedicated to the analysis and control of emerging diseases support the program. It also involves experts from international organizations, public health agencies, pharmaceutical companies and non-governmental organizations.

This interdisciplinary training is open primarily to students with a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Health Sciences and 4th year Pharmacy or Human Medicine. Secondly, students with a degree in Geography and Development, Social Sciences, Health and Social Sciences (their integration will be validated according to complementary training elements indicating their capacity to rapidly acquire skills in so-called "hard" sciences). Nevertheless, all students must have a very strong interest in the biology/ecology of pathogens, communicable diseases and epidemiology. And their academic and non-academic background must attest to their openness to a transdisciplinary approach including bioinformatics, statistics and human sciences. Fluency in scientific English (B2 level) is required. Autonomy and teamwork are also required.
