Module overview
If you successfully complete the taught component of the programme, then you will be allowed to progress to the MSc dissertation equivalent to 60 CATS/30 ECTS, which can be completed over a 3 months period during summer (usually mid-June to mid-September). However, if there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you to complete the requirements of the taught modules at the June Examination Board but are eligible to take referrals in the supplementary/referral period (Aug/Sep), then you may progress to the dissertation project.
The dissertation module will provide you with an opportunity to undertake an independent research project which will lead to the production of a systematic research document of professional standard not exceeding 15,000-20,000 words. There are wide ranging flexible options to choose dissertation project topics making use of the global health expertise across the University and the ¸£Àû×ÅƬ Health Research Institute at Southampton
