Minor Thesis

This unit of study provides students the opportunity, under guidance from a supervisor, to propose a research question, develop skills in research data collection, analysis and interpretation and write and present a thesis on topics related to public health. The research topic will be negotiated between the student and supervisor and will involve research within the field of public health either in Australian and/or international context. Students are required to demonstrate a high-level knowledge of ethical fieldwork procedures and seek timely ethics approval, as appropriate. Students will draw upon preliminary work already completed in the pre-requisite unit Research Methods in Public Health.
