All MSc students complete a dissertation or project looking at an aspect of informatics, normally related to their work. This gives students the opportunity to frame their own research questions and carry out a significant piece of research within a real clinical environment. The aim of this course is to develop the student’s ability to undertake independent research particularly in relation to:
- Critical reviewing the relevant literature
- Planning and application of one or more appropriate research techniques
- Managing time and resources to meet a deadline
- Addressing ethics issues where appropriate
- Data analysis
- Evaluation of the results
- Effective presentation of research findings
