This is an 8 week clinical placement-based module taken prior to your final examinations in March and comprising a 4 week placement with a GP Practice and a 4 week Student Selected Component (SSC) in a medical specialty of your choice.

The GP placement is an assistantship designed to make students 'think about the bigger picture'. In comparison to GP placements in other years of the curriculum, the final year provides a greater challenge to gain experience relevant to Foundation posts. Students will build confidence in seeing patients by leading their own surgeries and formulating management plans.

The SSC is a 4 week clinical placement designed to encourage self-directed learning and problem solving which will be characterised by your active participation (e.g. in clinical work, lab work, field work, etc.). Project work is a feature of all final year SSCs and while the type of activity and project involved will differ from one SSC to another, they all share the aim of encouraging your active participation.

This is the third module of the PG Dip in Social Science Research Methods which provides students with an opportunity to develop their own small scale research project and to undertake it with the support of a research tutor. This module gives the student insight into life as a research student and will enable him or her to explore their suitability for further research study. By the end of the course students will be able to undertake a small scale research project by creating workable research questions, selecting suitable research strategies, research designs and research methods, and they will be able to defend their choices and deliver a project successfully.

Most of the sessions are on line with a few face to face sessions.

This module is non-condonable.
