MSc in Sexually Transmitted Infections & HIV
Studying STIs opens up exciting and challenging career possibilities. STIs and HIV not only contribute a huge component of the global burden of disease, they have also driven some of the most cutting edge scientific developments of the past decade. These include areas as diverse as immunology, virology, vaccines for cancer, treatment as prevention, treatment of chronic diseases, structural drivers of disease, the role of community mobilization and disease control, to the science of aging.
This Masters provides Healthcare Professionals, Researchers, and those engaged in the public health aspects of STIs and HIV an opportunity to develop or refocus their careers, through advanced knowledge and skills training in all aspects of STI management and control.
Under the mentorship of the course organizer students tailor the course to their own learning objectives. Modules cover all aspects of STIs including Epidemiology and Public Health; Research Methods (qualitative and statistical); Health economics; Healthcare evaluation; Health Policy; issues in Global Health and Development; Basic science and laboratory diagnosis; Clinical management of individuals with STIs and HIV; and the interface between STIs and related specialties.
