Module Content
Outline Syllabus:For individual research projects, students will be allowed a choice of subject areas, appropriate to their programme of study, and the project will be developed by the student in discussion with the project tutor.
Module Overview:
The Research Project will equip you with the necessary transferable skills to investigate a research topic and present it using appropriate methods of scientific communication.
The Research Project will equip you with the necessary transferable skills to investigate a research topic and present it using appropriate methods of scientific communication.
Additional Information:This course will introduce the student to a research philosophy by providing training and assessment in areas including: use of literature, research skills, experimental design and project planning, risk assessment and ethical issues, analysing and solving problems, oral communication, report writing, self-management and Personal Development Planning.
The following information relates only to the operation of the module as a Certificate of Professional Development linked to the BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science programme:
No specific benchmarks are available for this module, but the learning outcomes at least meet, if not exceed, those stipulated in the relevant qualification descriptors for a higher education qualification at level 6 as defined by QAA, Sept 2015. The module has also been informed by the benchmark statement for Biomedical Science June 2015.
Intake is every September.
The criteria for admission to the module require that candidates meet the criteria for admission to the BSc Biomedical Science programme (32805).
The final award is Certificate of Professional Development in Research Project, 40 credits at Level 6.
The students have access to a module Canvas site and the University's other range of electronic support such as access to the electronic library facilities. The module content is regularly updated on the Canvas site including contemporary reading lists and links to journal articles. Students have access to the community site for Biomedical Science. All students have access to the module leader through phone contact and email. Module and CPD guides are also provided, which provide a range of information.
The programme is assessed and run in line with the Academic Framework

The module is accredited by The Institute for Biomedical Science (Sept 2016- Aug 2021). The module forms part of the BSc Biomedical Science programme (32805) which was reviewed in April 2016.
The methods for improving the quality and standards of learning are as follows:
• Annual monitoring Review;
• Liaison and feedback from the students;
• Reports from External Examiner;
• Programme team ensuring the module reflects the values of the current teaching and learning strategy;
• Module leader updating knowledge and skills to ensure these remain current and relevant.
The module is included in the programme specification for the BSc Biomedical Science programme (32805). The module is aligned with the same BSc Biomedical Science module for annual monitoring and external examining purposes.
