The course caters for:

• Policy-makers, public-health and disease-control professionals who need to
  (i) set appropriate goals for, and monitor performance of, infection-control programmes;
  (ii) interpret the findings of mathematical modelling studies; or
  (iii) question modelling experts effectively.
  
• All who need to apply modern methods of analysis in the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases, in medical, veterinary and conservation contexts.
  
• Health economists who need to develop appropriate models of infectious-disease control programmes.
  
• Researchers who need experience of using modern quantitative approaches to infectious disease epidemiology.
  
• Professionals planning for the control of a deliberately of accidentally released pathogen.
  
• Mathematicians who wish to learn key biological concepts and how they are translated into modelling.
