Course summary

If you are looking to build your expertise in animal disease control, zoonoses, and global health, the University of Edinburgh’s International Animal Health (Online Learning) programme offers a flexible, career-enhancing route to a globally recognised qualification. The programme is delivered fully online, allowing you to study part-time or intermittently around your professional and personal commitments. Our programme is designed for:

  • veterinary professionals
  • epidemiologists
  • laboratory workers
  • public health officers
  • animal health policymakers
It will enable you to develop the skills needed to address pressing challenges at the intersection of animal, human, and environmental health. Within a one-health framework, you will explore topics, such as:
  • transboundary animal diseases
  • zoonotic infections
  • veterinary epidemiology
  • animal disease surveillance
  • disease transmission between livestock, wildlife and people
By the end of the MSc in International Animal Health, you will have gained a deep understanding of how infectious diseases spread among animals and across species, including zoonotic risks to humans. This interdisciplinary degree prepares you for impactful roles in veterinary public health, international development, government policy, research and beyond. Many of our graduates go on to secure leadership roles, shape policy, or pursue further study, including PhDs.
