This program offers specialized education in infectious diseases, covering Medical Microbiology, Tropical Infectious Diseases, and Public/Environmental Health Microbiology. As infectious diseases become increasingly prevalent, the need for research on their control has never been greater. The Master of Infectious Diseases equips students with the expertise to properly diagnose pathogens and create strategies for disease prevention and immunization.
Designed for science and healthcare professionals pursuing careers in research labs, hospital diagnostics, clinical settings, public health organizations, and global institutions, this program delivers comprehensive training in infectious disease management. The curriculum explores medical microbiology, tropical diseases, and environmental health microbiology, along with either an independent research project or practical research experience.
Most classes are conducted in-person, with only three units available online. Therefore, full-time students must attend sessions in Perth.
