Students will devise and plan an original programme of research, which they will present in the form of a standard grant proposal, of the type required by UK funding bodies, and an oral examination. The unit aims to encourage students to develop an original research question through in depth investigation of the field of study, using the scientific literature. In doing this they will develop an understanding of the process of devising a coherent and specific scientific research programme.
