You will have had to successfully complete PgCert and PgDip Units 1-6 to be able to enroll to MSt level.

Residential Teaching

MSt students will be required to attend in Cambridge for two, two-day activities: presentation of their research project plans at the start of the year and presentation of their research findings towards the end of the year.

Research Dissertation

The final MSt year will require submission of a research dissertation of between 10,000 and 12,000 words in length including footnotes but excluding appendices and bibliography. The research project must address a topic in the space of scientific, medical, social or business innovation under the general theme of healthcare. The dissertation should be written with a focus towards the innovative aspects of the project underpinned with a strong understanding of the technologies or policies. The dissertation should include primary data. This may be quantitative or qualitative in nature.
