Aims

To provide opportunity for an independent, in-depth study of an agreed aspect of biotechnological science researched in an independent manner.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Demonstrate initiative in developing an independent, advanced research project.
2.
Demonstrate competence in a range of intellectual, cognitive and practical laboratory skills pertinent to scientific research.
3.
Demonstrate proficiency in the production of a clear and concise written report of the research study.
4.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:An appropriate project area will be agreed between the module leader and an LJMU supervisor. The LJMU supervisor will oversee the project.
Module Overview:
This module provides you with the opportunity to conduct an independent, in-depth study of an agreed topic of research, carried out in an appropriate manner over a 12-week period.
Additional Information:Employability: The practical in this module are based upon the work undertaken by scientists working in the biotechnology industry sector and those pursuing research career in the life sciences. They will give the student the necessary skills and experience to meet the workplace needs of biotechnology industries. They have been developed in consultation with employers of biotechnology graduates who have confirmed that the practical sessions are suitable and applicable to the industrial and biomedical workplace. Inclusivity: A conscious effort will be made to elevate the contributions of scientists from underrepresented groups, incorporating their research papers into the project dissertation, exploiting the EDIpedia database and highlighting good practice.
