GLOH5301: Global Health Capstone
2024 unit information
The capstone unit is to be completed in the last semester of the student’s candidature. This unit provides students with an opportunity to draw together and integrate their learning in the cores and elective units and apply the knowledge and skills gained. Students will be expected to complete a task which illustrates how a global health problem or issue can be analysed and an appropriate response formulated (including action to be taken and a plan to evaluate the impact of the action). This work may be completed individually or in small groups, although each student will be responsible for independent work and will submit assessment independently. For example, students may design a simple study or intervention evaluation or a practical project incorporating quantitative and qualitative methods to address a global health problem in a specific global setting. Students who have already collected data can analyse the data and write up as the capstone. Assessment includes the project proposal and the final deliverable, which is flexible and will be decided and agreed with the unit co-ordinator and the project supervisor. It may be a report, a literature review, development of an application, multimedia, or a manuscript suitable for submission to a journal.
