The unit will be to enable students to experience laboratory research at a postgraduate level. This will be in the form of an individual research project based in a research group associated with the intended PhD subject area. The research will be guided by the supervisor, with regular meetings with the student to set goals and to show how research is managed.
To be able to:
Research in a laboratory environment plus associated reviews of literature, one to one meetings with supervisors to discuss data analysis etc.
There will be two assessment components: (1) to demonstrate the planning and execution of scientific research by continuous assessment (30%), and (2) to demonstrate the planning and executing scientific research, and of critically evaluating data and communicating findings by writing a project report (70%).
The assessors’ reports will be made available to the student so that this feedback can be used to enhance performance in reporting on the second rotation project.
As appropriate to the rotation project.
