Evidence-Based Health Care

DPhil in Evidence-Based Health Care (part-time)

Course Code | 003340 

The part-time DPhil Programme considers applications from those who have completed the MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care. Applications may also be considered from students with a Master's in a related subject.

Thesis topics should have a significant focus on issues related to evidence-based practice, e.g. assessing the extent to which research findings are incorporated into practice; barriers to getting evidence into practice; implementation and evaluation of projects aiming to get evidence into practice; or methodological issues in research synthesis etc.

The DPhil should not focus on a primary research topic that would be better suited to a different discipline, e.g. health services research or primary research in a particular speciality.
