Description

In this integrative capstone project you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your learning from across the MPH programme. This project will allow you to work independently to shape and engage in a topic that most excites you from the programme. This project can be a public health evaluation, policy review, literature review, or analysis of existing quantitative or qualitative data. This project provides you with the opportunity to identify personal areas of specialisation or interest to inform your longer-term professional development. You will start to think about your project at the start of the programme, planning it in further detail as you progress through, and then conducting it at the end when you have completed the taught portion of your degree.Ìý
