Description Contents Requirements Funding

This one year research degree will provide training and experience in a specific Epidemiology or Public Health research project. In addition students will be given training in generic Epidemiology or Public Health research skills as well as core transferable skills.

Continuing

Transfer from MPhil to PhD is possible although it is not automatic. All cases are judged on their own merits based on a number of factors including: evidence of progress and research potential; a sound PhD research proposal; the availability of a suitable supervisor, full funding and resources required for the research; and acceptance by the Head of Department and the Degree Committee. The time spent on MPhil research is then counted towards the first probationary year of the PhD. If your intention is to apply to continue to the PhD after completion of the MPhil, it is essential that you pass the MPhil.

This MPhil is a supervised, 1-year, laboratory-based research course, with each student conducting their MPhil project under the direction of their Principal Supervisor. The course is entirely by research.


One to one supervision	The Director of Graduate Education will set out expectations for the frequency of your supervision. This will include expectations for formal opportunities for you to gain feedback on your work and progress. Most students have regular weekly/fortnightly supervision meeting but the frequency of supervision may vary according to the research project and the stage of the study.

Feedback

Students should expect to receive regular feedback on their progress during research and writing-up of the MPhil thesis from their Principal Supervisor. Termly progress reports are made by the Supervisor and uploaded on an online reporting syystem which is accessible to students.

Assessment
