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 course coordinator 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. Full-time students enrol in PUBH7950 and complete the dissertation in one semester. Part-time students enrol in PUBH7955 if commencing in Semester 1 and submit Dissertation at the end of Semester 2 of the same year, or PUBH7959 if commencing in Semester 2 and submit Dissertation at the end of Semester 1 of the following year.
