Bespoke courses

Bespoke courses

In addition to our annual Intensive Course in Applied Epidemiology, we also run commissioned courses – either in the UK or overseas – and have previously run bespoke training for other academic institutions, healthcare professionals, and pharmaceutical companies.

Most recently, we were invited by Public Health Wales to provide their staff members with a grounding in epidemiological research methods, and we subsequently ran a 5-day course in Cardiff, where the assembled group of healthcare professionals, analysts and data scientists from the public health body were given an intensive education on the key aspects of epidemiological research, including qualitative and quantitative research design and methodology, validity and reliability, sampling and the use of confidence intervals, and the use of ‘big data’ in research.

Our academic staff have over 20 years’ experience in delivering intensive, tailored epidemiology courses, and if you would like to speak to us about whether a bespoke training session might be right for you or your institution, please send us an email to epidemiology@abdn.ac.uk indicating the nature of the course you would be looking for, your preferred location, and the number and knowledge level of your attendees.  We would be happy to discuss the possibility of a bespoke course based on your own requirements, and would be happy to arrange events either here in Aberdeen or at a location of your choice.
