Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This is a student-led research project, where the student can choose a topic of their interest within the broad spectrum of the staff’s expertise. It will be usually conducted in the laboratory but also through administration of surveys, questionnaires and computer analysis. The student will count on the guidance of up to two supervisors, but will be encouraged to work independently. The student will have the opportunity to develop research, analytical, and problem-solving skills, and to make a contribution to the scientific area of their interest.
