Dissertation in Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology (GLBH0037)

Students in the MSc Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology undertake a substantial research project in the field of applied infectious disease epidemiology under the supervision of a UCL academic. The project may cover the following dissertation types

Primary data collection using quantitative or qualitative methods
	Secondary data analysis using open access data sets, surveillance data or data held by their supervisors
	Secondary data analysis in the area of molecular epidemiology and ‘omics
	Reviews of the literature using methods relevant to the discipline (e.g. systematic reviews)
The learning outcomes for this project are to:

gain practical knowledge of approaches to real problems in population health that relate to infections, including an understanding of the application of modern advances in infectious disease epidemiology.
	
	learn how to critically appraise existing knowledge to define a research question.
	
	
	learn how to apply the research methods and epidemiological skills they have learnt to tackle a specific problem and they will learn to implement a plan within a specific time scale.
	
	
	learn to synthesise their findings and present them in a way that is appropriate to the audience.
	
	
	address the ethical issues raised by research and understand some of the key elements of public engagement and pathways to impact.

Dissertation on Education and International Development (EDPS0060)

This is the Dissertation module for the MA Education and International Development.

The dissertation module aims to enable students to understand the contested nature of social/educational research (as applied to international development) and apply their learning by way of preparation and submission of a dissertation.

The module consists of a series of taught elements and supervision sessions to support students to conduct a small-scale study (such as that for their dissertation).

Students are expected to submit an account of their small-scale study by way of a dissertation. This is a maximum of 19,000 words and includes a write-up of the research, a research proposal and a focused summary of the study.
