Students are encouraged to identify a dissertation supervisor who has expertise in the area they are interested to study and with whom the student expects to be able to work. The PHFMPRC can help identify a supervisor if there is need. Students can approach a senior member of staff at their place of work with expertise in their research topic. If a student is eager to work on a particular project, but lacks the contacts he/she can ask one of the lecturers or his / her academic supervisor for contact details. If the student wants to choose any other supervisor (e.g., a professor from another university, a practitioner in public health, etc.), the supervisor needs approval by the PHFMPRC. A curriculum vitae of such a proposed dissertation supervisor should be sent to the MPH Coordinator’s Office. The dissertation supervisor should have a keen interest in the proposed topic of study.
