The thesis-based Master's in Epidemiology and Applied Health Research program begins a year of classroom learning to introduce core and specialized materials in epidemiology and biostatistics principals. This is followed by a research-intensive thesis component in which learners prepare a thesis proposal to demonstrate application of their core competencies to real-world problems. The degree culminates with a thesis defense seminar where learners demonstrate their mastery of the subject.

By the end of the program learners will master many core competencies and will be able to:

• think critically about concepts and principles related to measurement of health outcomes and epidemiology;
• use comparative reasoning to evaluate health risks and benefits from treatment in the fields of epidemiology and applied health research;
• provide in-depth critique of methodological issues relating to health research;
• demonstrate successful interpersonal collaborative skills to succeed in health research and professional contexts;
• demonstrate effective communication skills (written and oral) for scientific and professional audiences;
• demonstrate responsible use of individual and societal values and ethical principles in personal, scientific and professional contexts.

Degree Requirements
To complete the program, you'll need to:

• Complete four core courses, three elective courses, and a thesis development seminar
• Successfully defend a thesis in which you design and conduct an applied research project

As outlined in the Graduate Academic Calendar () Full-time students are expected to work on their degree requirements on a full-time basis. To maintain adequate progress, discretionary work not related to the program requirements should not typically exceed an average of 16 hours per week per term. Discretionary work not related to the program should not impede a student's capacity for full-time studies and adequate progress towards these requirements.
