Course description
Building the foundations for your study of translational science and health care innovation
This compulsory introductory module will provide the foundations for deeper engagement with the social sciences in the context of translational medicine and health care innovation. From a mix of learning methods including lectures, small group seminars and individual and group project work, you will acquire the knowledge and skills needed for independent study across the programme.
The module will include a brief introduction to key principles of research in the social sciences and look at examples of how these principles are applied in different disciplines, such as health services research, sociology, psychology, and science and technology studies.
It will also briefly introduce underpinning philosophical assumptions and empirical methods for the social sciences, including both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
You will learn (or refresh) the skills of literature searching, essay writing, critical thinking and presentation. You will consider your options for further modules and become oriented and confident to progress in the course.
