The course allows students to pursue a small research project on a topic that extends coursework learning in the Master of Culture Health and Medicine (Advanced). The course is centred on conducting original research under an academic supervisor, in order to develop independent research skills and experience. The details of the project will be negotiated between the student and the supervisor/s and be approved by the course convenor prior to enrolment. The research project may be conducted within an academic research group or in collaboration with an industry or government body. The project may be on a topic that is of interest to and/or encompasses multiple disciplines relevant to the VCHAM/MCHAM degree including anthropology, sociology, history, media studies and critical public health.
