Prerequisites: Consult HoS

First or second semester.

Candidates may spend about six weeks working in an approved on-going project in order to gain experience in working with an established research team (which may be based inside or outside the University). As an alternative and after consultation with the Course Coordinator, candidates may undertake a small project. Candidates will be required to undertake a small literature review and write up the results of their research in the form of a scientific paper. The written report should include a critical appraisal of the objectives, methodology, results and future directions of the project.

Assessment by project report.
