Scientific Methodology 2 develops and builds upon the foundation work done in Scientific Methodology 1. Through a discussion of more complex statistical methods, including epidemiological concepts and the introduction of survey and interview techniques the module prepares participants for actual research work in the field. An opportunity is given to 'bring everything together' in the presentation of project material and the evaluation of published papers. At the end of the module participants should feel confident about undertaking their MSc projects.
