'For me as a nutritionist, the MSE programme was important in order to gain more confidence and competence in the evaluation of large observational studies. The Epidemiology programme in Mainz offers sound methodological training and strengthens analytical thinking. Thanks to the modular structure of the postgraduate programme, I was able to combine my epidemiology studies with my doctorate. Today, I work in nutritional epidemiology and the knowledge I acquired during my studies forms the basis of my research. What I particularly appreciate about my job is the versatility, the new challenges and the opportunity to research unresolved scientific questions.'

'I am a research associate at the Mainz University Medical Centre and completed the Master's degree programme in Epidemiology while working. Thanks to the excellent organisation and well thought-out structure of the course, I was able to complete my studies successfully and within the standard period of study despite my professional commitments. I particularly appreciated the direct, uncomplicated contact with the lecturers, who are all recognised experts in their field and were always approachable. Although I had already worked intensively with epidemiological topics in my scientific work, the degree programme significantly expanded my knowledge, understanding and skills. As a result, I was able to integrate the content I learnt directly into my professional practice, which represents significant added value for my career.'

'Coming from a background in psychology, the M.Sc. Epidemiology program was the perfect next step toward working with health-related topics. Through the elective modules, I was able to shape my own profile, which laid a solid foundation in relevant topics and essential methods to ensure high-quality work. Furthermore, the program provided opportunities to study abroad, visit an EU agency, and write my thesis alongside field experts. It was an excellent starting point for a career in public health and inspired me to pursue a PhD program to further explore my curiosity.'
