PRP imageThe MSc dissertation project allows the student to undertake a piece of research designed to contribute to the evidence base for personalised functional nutrition. This can either be a piece of primary or secondary research: the former focusing on sociological quantitative and qualitative methods; the latter focusing on reviewing the scientific literature using methodologies appropriate to personalised functional nutrition.

Journal Club is open to all students on the MSc in Personalised Nutrition and to all Level 6 from the BSc Nutritional Science. We will normally run two time-slots for each Journal Club. Allow 1 hr 30 mins for each journal club session.

The benefit and usefulness of the Journal Clubs for everyone depends on each student making the effort to prepare for the session and contributing to the discussion.

The purpose of these sessions is to give you the opportunity to practice critical analysis of papers, familiarising yourselves with completing checklists and sharing ideas/conclusions with your peer group
