Introduction
MSc Clinical and Psychosocial Epidemiology
Mental and physical health and the reciprocal relationship between these two form the basis of the program. The central idea is that psychological, biological and social aspects all play a role in any physical or mental condition. The CPE program trains students to solve current health issues by applying innovative research designs and statistical techniques while making use of state-of-the-art facilities in a truly multidisciplinary setting. There is a strong focus on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of physical and mental health conditions, taking clinical, public health, and psychosocial factors into consideration. Our students work with existing large databases or collect their own data among people with or without a chronic disease, across the whole age range.
