Course description
The dissertation allows students to consolidate and extend the knowledge and skills acquired during the coursework and apply these in a scientific way in a public health or (clinical) epidemiological context. It can form the basis of a paper publishable in a (inter)national peer-reviewed journal in the dissertation's topic area. Before enrolling, students must obtain permission from the program director and have achieved a minimum GPA of 5.5 across #8 units of Part A coursework. Students completing dissertations are unlikely to have their degree conferred until the end of the semester following submission of their dissertation. This course code is for full-time students who will complete the dissertation in one semester. Part-time students should enrol in PUBH7955 (if commencing in semester 1) or PUBH7957 (if commencing in semester 2).
