About the course

The purpose is for the student to produce an independent scientific work. During the course, students will demonstrate their ability to independently plan, carry out and present (orally and written) their research on a public health related topic. This involves formulating a research problem and objectives, selecting appropriate methods, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting and discussing results in relation to scientific articles and other relevant literature. This course provides the opportunity to apply knowledge and proficiencies acquired during the other courses in the master programme of public health. The course includes a final seminar where the thesis is presented and discussed.

The master thesis can take one of three forms: a systematic literature review, a study protocol or an empirical study.
