Description
This course will enable students to take a research project on a topic of interest to themselves. It will provide the opportunity to conduct epidemiological research under the guidance of a supervisor from the School of Medicine and Public Health academic staff. A learning contract will be negotiated between the student and their supervisor at the commencement of the semester when the student is enrolled. It is envisaged that a minimum of monthly meetings will be held with the student's supervisor. The research project will involve planning and development of research protocol, literature review and data collection. Once data is collected, the student will analyse the data and write up the work completed either as a research project report or journal manuscript for publication.
