Section outline

  • The final dissertation constitutes 100% of the mark for the dissertation module. The dissertation is worth 30 credits out of 120 credits that you take in the whole year. 

    The dissertation aims to equip you with the practical and critical skills required to plan, design, and deliver an individual piece of academic research. To do this you will need to consolidate the knowledge, skills and interests you have developed during your taught modules, acquire a specific set of new research skills, and apply these to a global health problem.
