LSHTM course: Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications

The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) offers a face to face or virtual short course on Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications.

Dates: 16 to 27 June 2025.

Duration: 10 days.

Learning type: face to face or online.

This two-week course, now running for its 25th year, is organised jointly between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the UK Health Security Agency (formerly, Public Health England). It is intended to introduce professionals working on infectious diseases in either developing or developed countries to this exciting and expanding area. The emphasis will be on developing a conceptual understanding of the basic methods and on their practical application, rather than the manipulation of mathematical equations. The methods will be illustrated by “hands-on” experience of setting up models in spreadsheets as well as other specialist modelling packages, small group work, and seminars in which the applications of modelling will be discussed.

By the end of the course, participants will have deepened their current understanding of infectious disease epidemiology and have gained an understanding and practical experience of the basics of infectious disease modelling, which will be useful in their future work.
