The MA Social Behaviour Studies in HIV and AIDS as a postgraduate degree
requires students to work and conduct research independently. The purpose of
the study was to gauge the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of second
year students and key personnel concerning student support. A mixed methods
research design was used. It was found that students and staff regarded support
in a positive light, although concerns about insufficient resources were
expressed. Students expressed needs for specific academic and research
support. Staff tended to romanticise the reasons for students enrolling for the
degree. Possible conflicting expectations of the degree and the amount and type
of support offered were found between the staff and the students and also among
various staff members. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV-AIDS)
