This module is intended for those with an interest in the epidemiology, public health, and global burden of noncommunicable diseases.

Students will be expected to have a good knowledge of epidemiological methods including familiarity with different study designs, their analysis and interpretation. They should normally have attended the Extended Epidemiology (2007) module in Term 1; however, students who attend the Basic Epidemiology (2001) module will also be considered.
