Developing a dissertation on healthcare is usually one of the final steps in your learning process before receiving a degree. This academic paper is extremely important because it is designed to help you come up with your own vision on a particular issue, show off your exceptional research, analytical, and writing skills. However, choosing dissertation topics in public health might often appear to be a long and tricky process. Below you will find the newest prompts on how to collect the most promising public health topics for research and compose an excellent dissertation within the shortest terms.
The process of writing a dissertation might take you weeks and months. Therefore, it is vital to know how to choose a dissertation topic to complete this type of academic assignment with a desirable result. Here are a few tips that will allow you to make the process of making the right choice smoother and faster.
What can make your writing more effective? The truth is that you can compose your academic papers and develop brilliant writing if you are truly interested in the chosen field. Consequently, when searching for a winning public health research topic, always follow your interests. You might come through dozens of easy options you might have heard dozens of times. However, if you show zero interest in the chosen niche, your process of writing will likely be slowed down. The secret here is to grab an inspiring solution that will make you do the research, collect the arguments, and explore the niche with enthusiasm. In other words, becoming a passionate writer is one of the keys to success in developing high-quality dissertations.
It is often difficult to find a truly original niche to write about. However, it is still possible to find gaps in different studies to develop your dissertation. It is not recommended to choose a topic everyone is also writing about. If you want to get extra points for your academic assignment, it is better to stick to new notions that will be interesting for the audience. By the way, if you fail to find this unique golden niche to write about, it might be great to compose a paper that describes some common concepts from an original angle.
Although a dissertation is an academic paper of an impressive volume, it shouldn’t cover ambiguous topics or concepts. It should be tightly written and precise writing that reflects particular ideas and research done in a chosen field. Furthermore, this paper should have a 100% clear structure and no blurred descriptions or unfitting examples. Thus, avoid grabbing a concept that is too broad. Remember that you will need to do an advanced analysis of the selected niche and come up with concise conclusions. There are many interesting health topics to write about, but it is necessary to pick only precise and comprehensive ones.
When choosing a topic for your dissertation, always do research before you start developing a thesis. You can collect several solutions and choose the one that has more relevant sources you can use during writing. This simple trick will help you select an easier-to-write-about solution.
You might already have a couple of exciting topics you can write about. However, you shouldn’t be blind to the weak points of the chosen solution. The truth is that some of your favorite ideas might not be suitable to compose a paper of your academic level. Stay away from weak notions that will not be supported by numerous facts and trustworthy sources. Try to analyze your topic from different sides to get an unbiased vision of whether it suits your expectations.
If you feel lost in dozens of examples of research topics in public health, it is always a good idea to consult the mentor or professor. As a rule, these are people with amazing experience who can help you make the best possible choice. However, it is better to come up with several topics you will choose from during the consultation.
Sometimes it happens that you feel disappointed with the chosen topic after you’ve started writing. If you feel that your solution is too difficult or irrelevant, it is better to select another one until you go too far. It is absolutely normal to switch to another topic when writing a dissertation.
If you are looking for up-to-date and comprehensive topics to write about, this list is likely to suit all your needs. Grab one of the ideas below and compose a superior dissertation in no time.
When it comes to composing a dissertation, you might face the need to develop some pieces of the dissertation to meet urgent deadlines. If you don’t have enough free time to work on your academic paper, these topics might become true life-savers.
Epidemiology is currently one of the most disputable topics among hundreds of scientists all over the world. There are many project topics on epidemiology you can write about. However, it is better to select the most relevant options.

Choosing your dissertation topic is the first step in making sure your research goes as smoothly as possible. When choosing a topic, it’s important to consider:
You can follow these steps to begin narrowing down your ideas.
Step 1: check the requirements, step 2: choose a broad field of research, step 3: look for books and articles, step 4: find a niche, step 5: consider the type of research, step 6: determine the relevance, step 7: make sure it’s plausible, step 8: get your topic approved, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about dissertation topics.
The very first step is to check your program’s requirements. This determines the scope of what it is possible for you to research.
Some programs have stricter requirements than others. You might be given nothing more than a word count and a deadline, or you might have a restricted list of topics and approaches to choose from. If in doubt about what is expected of you, always ask your supervisor or department coordinator.
Start by thinking about your areas of interest within the subject you’re studying. Examples of broad ideas include:
To get a more specific sense of the current state of research on your potential topic, skim through a few recent issues of the top journals in your field. Be sure to check out their most-cited articles in particular. For inspiration, you can also search Google Scholar , subject-specific databases , and your university library’s resources.
As you read, note down any specific ideas that interest you and make a shortlist of possible topics. If you’ve written other papers, such as a 3rd-year paper or a conference paper, consider how those topics can be broadened into a dissertation.
After doing some initial reading, it’s time to start narrowing down options for your potential topic. This can be a gradual process, and should get more and more specific as you go. For example, from the ideas above, you might narrow it down like this:
All of these topics are still broad enough that you’ll find a huge amount of books and articles about them. Try to find a specific niche where you can make your mark, such as: something not many people have researched yet, a question that’s still being debated, or a very current practical issue.
At this stage, make sure you have a few backup ideas — there’s still time to change your focus. If your topic doesn’t make it through the next few steps, you can try a different one. Later, you will narrow your focus down even more in your problem statement and research questions .
There are many different types of research , so at this stage, it’s a good idea to start thinking about what kind of approach you’ll take to your topic. Will you mainly focus on:
Many dissertations will combine more than one of these. Sometimes the type of research is obvious: if your topic is post-war Irish poetry, you will probably mainly be interpreting poems. But in other cases, there are several possible approaches. If your topic is reproductive rights in South America, you could analyze public policy documents and media coverage, or you could gather original data through interviews and surveys .
You don’t have to finalize your research design and methods yet, but the type of research will influence which aspects of the topic it’s possible to address, so it’s wise to consider this as you narrow down your ideas.
It’s important that your topic is interesting to you, but you’ll also have to make sure it’s academically, socially or practically relevant to your field.
The easiest way to make sure your research is relevant is to choose a topic that is clearly connected to current issues or debates, either in society at large or in your academic discipline. The relevance must be clearly stated when you define your research problem .
Before you make a final decision on your topic, consider again the length of your dissertation, the timeframe in which you have to complete it, and the practicalities of conducting the research.
Will you have enough time to read all the most important academic literature on this topic? If there’s too much information to tackle, consider narrowing your focus even more.
Will you be able to find enough sources or gather enough data to fulfil the requirements of the dissertation? If you think you might struggle to find information, consider broadening or shifting your focus.
Do you have to go to a specific location to gather data on the topic? Make sure that you have enough funding and practical access.
Last but not least, will the topic hold your interest for the length of the research process? To stay motivated, it’s important to choose something you’re enthusiastic about!
Most programmes will require you to submit a brief description of your topic, called a research prospectus or proposal .
Remember, if you discover that your topic is not as strong as you thought it was, it’s usually acceptable to change your mind and switch focus early in the dissertation process. Just make sure you have enough time to start on a new topic, and always check with your supervisor or department.
If you want to know more about the research process , methodology , research bias , or statistics , make sure to check out some of our other articles with explanations and examples.
Methodology
Statistics
Research bias
Formulating a main research question can be a difficult task. Overall, your question should contribute to solving the problem that you have defined in your problem statement .
However, it should also fulfill criteria in three main areas:
All research questions should be:
You can assess information and arguments critically by asking certain questions about the source. You can use the CRAAP test , focusing on the currency , relevance , authority , accuracy , and purpose of a source of information.
Ask questions such as:
A dissertation prospectus or proposal describes what or who you plan to research for your dissertation. It delves into why, when, where, and how you will do your research, as well as helps you choose a type of research to pursue. You should also determine whether you plan to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.
It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives , ready to be approved by your supervisor or committee.
Note that some departments require a defense component, where you present your prospectus to your committee orally.
The best way to remember the difference between a research plan and a research proposal is that they have fundamentally different audiences. A research plan helps you, the researcher, organize your thoughts. On the other hand, a dissertation proposal or research proposal aims to convince others (e.g., a supervisor, a funding body, or a dissertation committee) that your research topic is relevant and worthy of being conducted.

If you’re struggling to get started, this step-by-step video tutorial will help you find the perfect research topic.
What (exactly) is a research topic.
A research topic is the subject of a research project or study – for example, a dissertation or thesis. A research topic typically takes the form of a problem to be solved, or a question to be answered.
A good research topic should be specific enough to allow for focused research and analysis. For example, if you are interested in studying the effects of climate change on agriculture, your research topic could focus on how rising temperatures have impacted crop yields in certain regions over time.
To learn more about the basics of developing a research topic, consider our free research topic ideation webinar.
A strong research topic comprises three important qualities : originality, value and feasibility.
To learn more about what makes for a high-quality research topic, check out this post .
A research topic and a research problem are two distinct concepts that are often confused. A research topic is a broader label that indicates the focus of the study , while a research problem is an issue or gap in knowledge within the broader field that needs to be addressed.
To illustrate this distinction, consider a student who has chosen “teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom” as their research topic. This research topic could encompass any number of issues related to teenage pregnancy such as causes, prevention strategies, health outcomes for mothers and babies, etc.
Within this broad category (the research topic) lies potential areas of inquiry that can be explored further – these become the research problems . For example:
Simply put, a key difference between a research topic and a research problem is scope ; the research topic provides an umbrella under which multiple questions can be asked, while the research problem focuses on one specific question or set of questions within that larger context.
There are many steps involved in the process of finding and choosing a high-quality research topic for a dissertation or thesis. We cover these steps in detail in this video (also accessible below).
Finding quality sources is an essential step in the topic ideation process. To do this, you should start by researching scholarly journals, books, and other academic publications related to your topic. These sources can provide reliable information on a wide range of topics. Additionally, they may contain data or statistics that can help support your argument or conclusions.
Identifying Relevant Sources
When searching for relevant sources, it’s important to look beyond just published material; try using online databases such as Google Scholar or JSTOR to find articles from reputable journals that have been peer-reviewed by experts in the field.
You can also use search engines like Google or Bing to locate websites with useful information about your topic. However, be sure to evaluate any website before citing it as a source—look for evidence of authorship (such as an “About Us” page) and make sure the content is up-to-date and accurate before relying on it.
Evaluating Sources
Once you’ve identified potential sources for your research project, take some time to evaluate them thoroughly before deciding which ones will best serve your purpose. Consider factors such as author credibility (are they an expert in their field?), publication date (is the source current?), objectivity (does the author present both sides of an issue?) and relevance (how closely does this source relate to my specific topic?).
By researching the current literature on your topic, you can identify potential sources that will help to provide quality information. Once you’ve identified these sources, it’s time to look for a gap in the research and determine what new knowledge could be gained from further study.
Finding a strong gap in the literature is an essential step when looking for potential research topics. We explain what research gaps are and how to find them in this post.
When evaluating potential research topics, it is important to consider the factors that make for a strong topic (we discussed these earlier). Specifically:
So, when you have a list of potential topics or ideas, assess each of them in terms of these three criteria. A good topic should take a unique angle, provide value (either to academia or practitioners), and be practical enough for you to pull off, given your limited resources.
Finally, you should also assess whether this project could lead to potential career opportunities such as internships or job offers down the line. Make sure that you are researching something that is relevant enough so that it can benefit your professional development in some way. Additionally, consider how each research topic aligns with your career goals and interests; researching something that you are passionate about can help keep motivation high throughout the process.
When evaluating the feasibility and practicality of a research topic, it is important to consider several factors.
First, you should assess whether or not the research topic is within your area of competence. Of course, when you start out, you are not expected to be the world’s leading expert, but do should at least have some foundational knowledge.
Time commitment
When considering a research topic, you should think about how much time will be required for completion. Depending on your field of study, some topics may require more time than others due to their complexity or scope.
Additionally, if you plan on collaborating with other researchers or institutions in order to complete your project, additional considerations must be taken into account such as coordinating schedules and ensuring that all parties involved have adequate resources available.
Resources needed
It’s also critically important to consider what type of resources are necessary in order to conduct the research successfully. This includes physical materials such as lab equipment and chemicals but can also include intangible items like access to certain databases or software programs which may be necessary depending on the nature of your work. Additionally, if there are costs associated with obtaining these materials then this must also be factored into your evaluation process.
Potential risks
It’s important to consider the inherent potential risks for each potential research topic. These can include ethical risks (challenges getting ethical approval), data risks (not being able to access the data you’ll need), technical risks relating to the equipment you’ll use and funding risks (not securing the necessary financial back to undertake the research).

Healthcare Architecture is one of the most important, complex, and demanding fields as it requires precision, needs, and respect for privacy. As architects, we design these structures so that the public is able to walk through the health care system in a proper way. There are many students who work with the topic during their thesis project as it is not only challenging but also opens new doors into tackling pandemics such as Covid-19.
Here are 20 thesis topics related to healthcare architecture:
Children’s hospitals have been one of the most challenging designs. As the hospital is the last place a child might want to go. So making hospitals less scary and motivating the children to accept the care is one of the biggest psychological challenges that the designer has to encounter. But when dealing with children it can help unleash the child inside the designer. So if you can design for those little ones; this one’s for you.
A hospital design that deals with different types of multispeciality facilities available under one single roof. This design is in high demand in the urban context and is one of the biggest rising designs. As they’re able to adhere and cater to a large number of people with different ailments.
Addiction has been and is going to be one of the biggest ailments that our generations have encountered. As there is a subsequent increase in the death rates that have been caused by an overdose of drugs. And somewhere there is a share of rehabilitation spaces too. As they need to feel less of a prison and more of a recovery center which can guarantee the addicted people that this is the road to recovery. Hence the role of architecture is highly important in this context. So if you would like to bring a change to this biggest problem of generation this one’s for you.
One of the most unique and detailed topics of healthcare architecture which peek into the technicalities of the medical world. With a dominating services part. As including the technical part, there is a lot to design on this topic as it is one of the key elements of the hospitals.
Still today mental health problems are always seen with a judgemental eye. And mental hospitals are still aren’t reached by the suffering people just out of the pressure and disgrace created around mental problems. This is why there is an immense need to break the imageability of the mental hospitals and redefine them in a new thought. A new image that can make it a lot less scary and way more approachable. So if you want to risk and break the mold; this is the best one.
Autistic care is one of the most creative and challenging ones. As they need for us to dwell into the life of autistic children and understand how their world works. And how can we make it better? Even though the percentage of their population might be small their needs are often ignored as most of the time they’re pushed into our normal worlds that don’t cater to their needs or care at all. So if you would like to step into their shoes and empathize. This one is a good option for you to choose from.
Trauma is a lot of complex phenomena that don’t just affect momentarily but can change a person’s life forever. Which makes these trauma recovery centers all the more important. They’re supposed to provide the care and refuge for them that can make them feel better and start their journey to recovery. It is a challenging phenomenon to give a solution to through architecture. But the built environment can do wonders that are beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
Cancer hospitals are one of the most important elements of society and are always needed. With a large amount of infrastructure, technology, and care involved in making them. It undoubtedly makes it one of the most promising thesis topics.
Counseling clinics are on a subsequent rise as they are easily approached and overall more preferred by the people who feel they need help. So this design doesn’t just need to step out from the big scary hospital vibe to a friendly place where one might feel like going to have some help. This thesis explores a lot of urban human psychology and the needs of today’s generations of healthcare. Indeed a topic for the promising future.
With the considerable increase in juvenile crimes . Juvenile health and development have been the top priority of many countries worldwide. So out of the many efforts being done for their betterment, this one is one of the most crucial ones. This design needs to cater to the raging young minds while healing them of their trauma and help them walk the road of recovery without falling into the traps of crime. Children’s psychology will play a very important role in their recovery. Thus this project in a real sense is going to shape the future of tomorrow.
This one demands a good understanding of infant to toddler development and physiology. Their reactions in certain environments and how to make a peaceful place that can cater to these tender beings with care. It is a very creative and positive topic that prolifically deals with the news.
Peeking deeper into the journey of a cancer warrior. It gives us the chance to create a better environment for them when they’re battling and are feeling at their lowest. This calls for healing that is done through spaces that make them feel less pained and can provide hope. Something design is very much capable of.
The time post-prison is as important as the time inside is. As the prisoners are often left in open with a shock of a new reality right ahead of them. Which at times is a lot to handle, especially in a positive mindset. Thus this rehab center won’t just make them prepared, but also will help them step into this new world as a better human.
The reuse of hospital spaces is challenging. But provides ample opportunities on the way depending on the context and background the design is going to set up in.
Covering the whole process of development and recovery this center is supposed to be the most important center in the life of the patients who are to be motivated and kept hopeful throughout. Which requires a conscious approach as a designer to make a space that can help them feel better and give them a will to survive.
Care for the elderly can be one of the needed topics in today’s world. As the care they need is much beyond a hospital. As they need a hospital that feels like hope. A place where they will be willing to stay rather than run away from. And the design can be the one that can create such an effect successfully.
Hospice centers in rural areas serve as many other things rather than just healthcare architecture. They act as a refuge space for the general public and even an educational area. Considering its multidimensional use it can be used for many things. Thus providing it as an opportunity to work on a singular space that can serve as a multipurpose space .
The dementia care center is a healthcare architecture design that deals with the lives of dementia suffering patients. Which requires them to step into the shoes of the patients. As it can help us create a good environment for them.
The behavioral health facility is the new healthcare facility that has been created. Which has been created to tackle the behavioral and other problems that are dealt with every day in the urban and rural contexts? Thus making it more approachable for the people suffering it. And thus it can become one of the futuristic architecture designs
From the admission phase to the complete recovery. Different phases are involved and are needed to be catered carefully. Thus it makes the healthcare architecture of the space equally important in the healing of the trauma and the road towards recovery.
