This MSc provides you with a deeper understanding of how parasites cause disease and are transmitted, and how best to control infection in humans. Delivered by experts in parasitology and medical entomology at the forefront of the field, this research-led programme equips you with an impressive range of practical skills, research training, and fieldwork experience. You will also explore module options that develop your specialist knowledge, with opportunities to investigate the complex life cycles and biology of parasites and their vectors, and to consider how technology could significantly advance efforts to control and eliminate parasitic infections.
Applicants should hold a degree at 2:2 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Those without a qualifying degree may still be considered based on relevant experience. This MSc also requires an interest in parasites of public health importance and disease transmission. Relevant backgrounds include biological or biomedical sciences and zoology; other life science qualifications (e.g. medicine, ecology, public health) may be accepted if supported by transcripts, research, or work experience. Applications should clearly explain how the MSc aligns with your career or interests in parasitic diseases and/or their vectors.
