The MSc in Modelling for Global Health is a full-time one-year course which will train a new generation of mathematical modellers with cutting edge multi-disciplinary skills to support global health decision making processes at sub-national, national and international levels. A strong connection with the Oxford Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Nuffield Department of Medicine ensures that the portfolio of training provided on this MSc retains the ability to bridge tropical medicine research to policy and implementation. Tropical medicine is a major research theme at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, and quantitative methods have been identified by NDM as a key area for expansion and training. This MSc course will enhance the connection between state-of-the-art technical research and frontline clinical and laboratory science in the Global Health arena. The course will aim to develop your:

• repertoire of skills in mathematical and economic modelling including, for example, scientific programming, global health financing, genetics and evolution, spatial analysis and model fitting, related cutting-edge bioinformatics and analytics

• breadth of knowledge of current challenges and issues in global health

• range of techniques and tools for communication with key stakeholders from policy, implementation, commercial and research sectors.
