Course description
Students undertake one or more projects, usually under the supervision of an experienced biostatistician, in order to gain practical experience in the application and knowledge and skills learnt in the coursework components of the Master of Biostatistics or Master of Science (Statistics) program. Typically the projects will involve the student acting as a statistical consultant in a research team so that they gain additional experience in communication and teamwork. Assessment is based on a portfolio comprising a reflective preface and brief reports on each project.
