Methodology and Statistics II

Full course description

A thesis research project during which students design and conduct a scientific research project under the direction of an experienced supervisor from Maastricht University forms the last part of the Global Health programme. He thesis project challenges students to combine their knowledge of methodology and statistics with their knowledge about global health and to work this into a concrete study design. The aim of this second Methodology and Statistics course is to prepare students for this thesis research project and to support them during the process of designing and preparing a sound and relevant scientific study. As this process requires extensive thought, energy and time, it commences during the last module of the fall term with the process of establishing a research topic and finding a setting/institution for the study. The module ends in April with the presentation of the complete thesis research project proposal during the learning symposium in Manipal.
