Course programme
In order to apply for the MSc, you must have successfully and recently completed the PGDip in Paediatric Infectious Diseases.
The MSc is intended to assess your capacity to formulate research questions, select, design and manage a research project. You will complete a research project of between eight and fourteen weeks and write a dissertation of not more than 15,000 words based upon this. The research can be carried out in Oxford or locally, making the programme suitable for overseas as well as UK residents.
You will receive support and guidance from your dedicated Oxford supervisor during the preparation of your dissertation. If you are completing your research project outside of Oxford you will also be required to find a local supervisor.
While there is no formal teaching programme for the MSc year, you may attend any of the regular series of University lectures and seminars in relevant disciplines, particularly those run by the Department of Paediatrics.
SupervisionThe allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Department for Continuing Education and/or the Department of Paediatrics and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Department for Continuing Education and/or the Department of Paediatrics.
Graduate destinationsMost part-time students commencing this programme are already in full-time employment. The MSc aims to broaden a trainee's knowledge about paediatric infection for continued work in the subspecialty.
Changes to this course and your supervision The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. In certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study. Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment. For further information, please see our page on changes to courses.
