PHAR3923: Research Methods

2025 unit information

This unit of study builds on the fundamental health research knowledge gained in FMHU2000 (Introduction to Research Methods in Health). This unit is designed to extend students' knowledge, skills and competence in research methods, data analysis, critical appraisal, and oral and written scientific communication. Students then apply these knowledge and skills by conducting and presenting a literature review for a chosen health research topic. The knowledge, skills and competence developed in this unit of study prepares students for their Honours research project (PHAR4913) and equips them to appropriately analyse and apply research evidence to the practice of pharmacy.
