Developing a Research Proposal (IOEF0003)

This is the last of four modules that make up the PG Dip in Social Science Research Methods. It introduces students to each of the stages required to complete a successful research proposal for a research degree or for another purpose. It provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have developed over the programme and to work with the tutor to develop a research proposal and funding application for doctoral study. By the end of the course students will be able to create a credible research proposal for a funding body, and to assess whether they are suitable to undertake further postgraduate research. It is delivered by mostly face to face sessions.

This module is non-condonable.

Ethnicity, Migration and Health (IEHC0070)

‘Ethnicity, Migration and Health’ is a module aimed at students who wish to learn about public health and its links to ethnicity and migration. More specifically, you will learn to theorise and understand ethnicity and migration, describe issues related to research exploring ethnicity and migration in the UK and elsewhere, describe patterns of ethnicity and migration in the UK and consider explanations for ethnic/migrant differences in health.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

Identify different approaches to understanding/theorising ethnicity and migration
	Understand the social nature of ethnicity, its dynamic nature, and its location in (unequal) social relations
	Summarise key evidence on ethnic and migrant inequalities in health
	Reflect on data limitations of much research on ethnicity, migration and health
	Theorise the main causal pathways that relate to ethnic inequalities in health and health services
	Understand the different migrant sub-groups and how they affect migrants’ health
This is an optional module for students on the MSc Social Epidemiology, MSc Population Health and MSc Global Health and Development. It is also attended by other postgraduate students from both the Faculty of Population Health Sciences and other UCL Faculties. Spaces are limited to 30.

Teaching will take place in the form of lectures followed by discussions or small group work.
