Supervised research for MSc Demography
After the taught modules you will undertake a supervised research project starting in June and submit a dissertation for the MSc in September (or December if studying part time). Providing satisfactory supervision arrangements can be made, you can work on a topic of your own choice.

Dissertations are of about 15,000 words in length. They should demonstrate your mastery of the topic area, but they are not expected to contain a substantial original contribution.

Dissertation examples

an investigation into population change through internal and international migration at the county level in England
reproductive health among adolescents in Malawi
risk factors of disease and mortality in developing countries
determinants of contraceptive approval among religious leaders in Pakistan
health inequality in Madagascar
wellbeing among children left behind by migrant parents in Tajikistan
maternal health policy change in Ghana
educational attainment trends in the UK

In the week before the first semester begins, you will attend a four-day introduction to:

the computing facilities at Southampton
core statistical packages SPSS and STATA

In addition to the core and compulsory modules listed, students should choose 30 CATS worth of optional modules from the list below. Modules on other MSc programmes (e.g. MSc Gerontology) may be taken as options after discussion with your academic tutor and the MSc programme coordinator.
