These short presentations give a guide to the planned research questions, proposed methodology and timeline for each project. Supervisors were able to provide advice and feedback at this stage, mainly in terms of the scope and methodology.
The funded eight-week placement, which takes place from the end of April until the end of June, is usually with a global health project in a resource limited setting. Projects represent the range of subjects covered in the course and are intended to provide an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in the first two terms. Students may choose their own placement providing it meets the course guidelines. Placement supervisors provide supervision and guidance to the students throughout their placements.
The placement forms the basis for the 10,000-word dissertation that is submitted in August.
Some of the placements available for 2024 are listed below.
