The MSc programme in One Health: Parasitology and Infection Biology is designed for students seeking training in parasite-borne infectious diseases that severely undermine: human health in the developing world and tropics; agri-food production systems globally (including plant health and animal health and welfare). Students taking the course will develop expertise directly applicable to human, plant and animal health and welfare, food security and the future sustainability of food production, particularly within livestock and plantcrop production systems. The course will be run entirely by research active and will offer students the opportunity to gain experience in internationally competitive laboratories. As an ‘Innovation Year in Industry’ programme, this course offers an opportunity to apply the skills and theories learnt during the first year to a real-world problem in industry, charities, or government. Students will have the opportunity to undertake a 40-week placement that will give them real-life experience of addressing a specific problem through the application of knowledge, expertise, and technical skills that have been developed as part of the first year of their course. This will equip graduates with in-demand skills and experience that will provide a strong trajectory for their international employability.
