Townsville
120 hours flexible delivery. First or second semester flexible delivery.
Available to all students enrolled in the Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine or Master of Science (Tropical Health), or other students approved by the Head of the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
Staff: Assoc. Professor P Leggat.
Students submit a proposal to undertake a major project under the mentorship of an appropriate staff member(s). The project can take the form of a research and/or development project in areas relevant to public health and/or tropical medicine. Following completion of the research and/or development project, the project report, normally written, is submitted as final assessment, preferably as a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Learning Objectives:
- undertake a critical review of the available literature;
- develop a proposal for the major project;
- perform an appropriately scaled research and/or development project, under the guidance of a staff member;
- present work in a suitable form for assessment.
Assessment will, as far as possible, form part of an agreed learning contract with individual students. In most cases, assessment of the project proposal, as well as the final report, is undertaken. It is expected that the final report will be at the level of a publication in a peer-reviewed journal or equivalent work.
