Handbook

The project comprises enquiry-based learning in an area of Reproductive Medicine or Women's Health Medicine.  Students are expected to demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge and skills gained in the course, through: identifying and defining a significant issue; systematically collecting relevant, up-to date information about the issue; analysing, interpreting and discussing the information; drawing conclusions; making recommendations; and writing a report in a manner consistent with academic standards at Master's level. The project may be in the form of a small-scale research study, a case study, or a clinical audit.  Although candidates are advised to start planning early in their undertaking of the Masters Program, the project is normally undertaken in the last term of the Masters Program. Prior to enrolment, students need to identify a topic area, find a relevant and willing supervisor, contact the course convenor, fine-tune the project proposal, and ideally also obtain necessary ethics approvals. These are all time-limiting factors requiring 6-12 months of pre-planning.

Please Note: It is a requirement of enrolling into SWCH9019 that students have achieved a Credit or higher in the SWCH9011 Introduction to Perinatal Epidemiology and Biostatistics course.
