Research Study Project Module leads
Dr Emeka Chukwusa
Dr Kennedy Nkhoma
Summary: The research study project is required for MSc students only. As a student, you will be expected to design and complete a substantial piece of work that provides an original contribution in the field of palliative care. You will be overseen by a Research Project Supervisor during this process. This is an important opportunity to develop your particular area of interest and have time to investigate it. The department offers a wide range of topics to choose from, which contributes to larger projects led by senior researchers. Our students have a strong track record of publishing their findings from their research study projects, in peer-reviewed scientific journals. These have included for example Lancet Infectious Diseases, British Medical Journal, Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, Palliative Medicine, Journal of Palliative Care, BMC Public Health and Social Science and Medicine.
