The Data Science for Health Research Project 2 is a 90-credit module that builds on your learning from the Project 1 module. This is your chance to dive into a real-world health data science project, where you can apply your skills in biostatistics or epidemiology. It’s all about conducting your own research and developing a novel, impactful study in the field.
You’ll get hands-on experience, working independently with the support of an expert supervisor. This module encourages you to explore new research areas, fill knowledge gaps, and find innovative solutions to health challenges. You’ll develop critical skills like problem-solving, data analysis, and scientific communication while creating a high-quality report and poster presentation to showcase your findings.
Throughout the module, you’ll receive continuous feedback, helping you refine your work and grow as a researcher. The approach is designed to give you the confidence to manage your project from start to finish, with plenty of opportunities to improve your academic writing, presentation skills, and time management.
