Research programmes involve writing a thesis on a particular topic with specialist supervision. You are given research training, which is tailored to the particular needs of your research and takes into account any training you have previously received. You also have opportunities to attend modules on relevant subjects on a non-assessed basis to fill any gaps in your background. The curriculum will be in the general area of medicine and health science research and may range from looking at mechanisms of disease or methodology, clinical research, or healthcare economics. Candidates will be required, in consultation with their supervisors, to undertake appropriate background reading; to undertake such research training as the supervisor and the Social Sciences Faculty require and to put such training into practice; to carry out a substantial body of original research, and to provide a written account of the research including its context within the current body of knowledge. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Canadian students typically need to have completed a Bachelor Degree (Honours)/Baccalauréat/Professional Degree in the social sciences, have an interest in the chosen topic area and a clear idea of their proposed thesis topic. We will also consider candidates with professional qualifications alone and/or relevant experience in the health service. All applicants are considered on an individual basis and additional qualifications, professional qualifications and relevant experience may also be taken into account when considering applications. |
