Introduction

The Master of Science in Tropical Medicine (MTM) is a 60 credit program with a choice between Biomedical or Clinical Sciences orientation. It builds on the expertise of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM).

The MTM aims to develop research skills on diagnosis and management of the most prevalent and re-emerging tropical diseases in the world; it aims to strengthen training in research techniques and methods in the clinical and biomedical fields, and it aims to contribute to the development of research capacity in resource-constrained settings. Moreover, the MTM puts relevant biomedical and clinical research in a broader public health perspective.

What is particular for this master is that

  • (a) it covers the tropical diseases chain “from lab to bed”, by focusing on both pathogens and patients,
  • (b) it integrates clinical and biomedical expertise in tropical diseases in resource-constrained settings, but also in other settings where tropical diseases occur and
  • (c) it focuses on biomedical and clinical/epidemiological research including the development of specific lab competencies for specific settings.

Two orientations

Students can choose between the orientation Clinical Sciences or Biomedical Sciences and can focus their studies on research or professional competencies (see below).

How?

The MTM is taught at the ITM, a stimulating international academic environment, with a multidisciplinary perspective and an emphasis on critical reflection. The multifaceted cultural and professional backgrounds of the international student group stimulate exchange, comparative analysis, and confrontation of ideas. ITM's teaching staff is extensively involved in research in low and middle-income countries and has significant "field knowledge".
