Research-based

Students may elect to undertake a Research-based Capstone Project where they conduct primary data collection and analysis, analysis on secondary data, policy analysis, cost-benefit analysis, rigorous literature review for policy analysis, systematic reviews, needs assessment and programme evaluation.

Practice-based

Students may also elect to undertake a Practice-based Capstone Project where they identify a public health problem or issue and implement a public health-related programme to address this problem. Practice-based projects require that students locate a suitable setting for approximately 120 hours (about 3 weeks FT equivalents) in the field in order to conduct programme implementation or programme enhancement.
