Overview
A typical day of the Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine consists of lectures, computer practicals and small group discussions.
What you will study
- Seminars by invited external modellers, epidemiologists and decision-makers, which highlight the practical applications of modelling, are also scheduled throughout the course. For participants attending in-person, all teaching is carried out at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
- Students following the course remotely will be able to join the live lectures at the scheduled times and will also be able to listen to the pre-recorded lectures on the same topic if they choose.
- Times are scheduled during the day during which remote students can work on given practicals in virtual rooms with other students with tutor-support.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Key concepts in infectious disease epidemiology;
- The basic methods for setting up (deterministic and stochastic) infectious disease models;
- Modelling in real-time;
- How to read and interpret modelling papers;
- Models for describing STI transmission and control;
- Models of the dynamics and control of tuberculosis;
- Fitting models to data, network models, sensitivity analyses and health economics.
- Guest lectures from researchers working on mathematical modelling.

Other requirements
General requirements
- The course is designed for individuals interested in expanding their knowledge of the techniques available for analysing and interpreting epidemiological data on infectious diseases and for predicting the impact of control programmes, including medical and health professionals, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical statisticians and infectious disease researchers.
- Specialist mathematical training is not a prerequisite. However, individuals with degrees in mathematical disciplines working on some aspect of infectious disease dynamics and/ or control, who wish to learn about the potential of infectious disease modelling will also benefit.
- Some familiarity with spreadsheet packages (ideally Excel) is desirable.
- Applicants should have a good command of English.
