Research skills are fine-tuned in the MSc Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Dissertation module, whereby students work with an academic supervisor to conduct a research project, statistically analyse their data and prepare a thesis based on two elements: a critical review of the literature in a specified topical area of nutrition/dietetics and an original publication for submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
Students will be assigned an individualized final year project (and project supervisor) decided upon by the academic team.
The specific first and final draft deadline dates will be specified each year by the Project Module Coordinator. The project thesis template includes an Introduction, Hypothesis, Aim and Objectives, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions / Future Perspectives and References.
All students will complete an oral presentation outlining these key aspects of their research project. The project presentations usually occur within about 2 weeks of the thesis deadline.
All students are required to fill in an ethical application form and attach, as an appendix, to the research submission. This ensures that when working on a project with prior ethical approval, the student still demonstrates an ability to identify potential ethical issues associated with the research conducted and gains experiential learning in the ethical approval process.
