Your oral presentation skills and response to questions, the planning and management of your project work and your employability skills will also be part of the assessment. In this module you will conduct an individual scientific investigation on a topic relating to your degree specialisation. You will either use the skills you have developed to identify a suitable research question and design an experimental approach to obtain data addressing this question, or use your research skills to better understand an existing project/dataset. The module evaluates your analysis, presentation, understanding and interpretation of these data in a suitable scientific paper format report, along with your critical writing skills.
The aim of this module is to enhance students understanding of the research process from critically synthesising the literature to inform and design a scientific study to collecting, analysing and presenting data, interpreting findings and identifying wider implications. The aim of the employability programme of activities is to support students in pursuing their future career pathways.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Develop a project research proposal, including the experimental, analytical and statistical methods to be used, if undertaking an original research project;
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the health and safety and ethical issues related to scientific research and undertake appropriate risk and ethics assessments;
3. Carry out a research project to obtain and interpret sufficient data of good quality using appropriate experimental, analytical and statistical methods;
4. Describe and critically synthesise data from research articles;
5. Communicate effectively by an oral presentation of project work;
6. Address scientific questions on the background, methods, data and future direction from academic assessors;
7. Communicate the outcomes of research effectively in a written report in a scientific paper format;
8. Produce an updated CV and accompanying documents and perform in a mock interview scenario;
No additional information available.
Zoom webinars/meetings, pre-recorded videos, tutorials, workshops and guided tasks. Draft presentation opportunity with formative feedback provided.
Contact with project supervisor; students will work independently with further guidance and assistance as and when required.
