[UK] Master Studentships in Health Sciences (MSc Health Services Research) at the University of York
Posted by: In: Master|Postgraduate|Scholarships in Europe
Two funded places on the MSc Health Sciences (Health Services Research) are available for 2010/2011. The funding will include a 12k stipend in addition to course fees of £3,300 (overseas students will have to supplement the fees to match the overseas rate). The studentships are for a period of 1 year full-time but may also be considered for two years part-time.
MSc Health Sciences (Health Services Research) is a taught programme with a substantial research component, which will be conducted within the trials unit. Students will be able to choose from a range of projects working on currently active trials or trial methodology depending on interests and background and be supervised by two members of staff.
The successful candidates will work with the York Trials Unit. The York Trials Unit, established in 1996, is a National Institute of Health or Research (NIHR) accredited Trials Unit. The Unit is embedded within the Department of Health Sciences and undertakes large pragmatic trials and has evaluated a wide range of health care interventions. The Unit has a national and international reputation for the design and conduct of rigorous trials and a developing reputation for methodological research.
The Department of Health Sciences is large and multidisciplinary, offering a broad range of taught and research programmes in the health and social care field. It aims to develop the role of scientific evidence in health and health care through high quality research, teaching and other forms of dissemination.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, we were rated first nationally for Health Services Research, together with colleagues from the Centre for Health Economics and the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. Our Nursing and Midwifery research was ranked fourth nationally and Epidemiology and Public Health nineteenth.
