They will also undertake an independent research investigation on a mutually agreed topic. The independent project will normally stem from the minor project, but this is not obligatory. The thesis will not normally exceed 120 pages (including tables and figures) but will be of a sufficient standard to satisfy the examiners (three), one of whom may be external.

Learning Outcomes

• prepare a dissertation on the topic which critically reviews the literature;
• review the scientific literature on a particular topic;
• understand aspects of experiment planning, costing, execution and data interpretation;
• understand scientific conventions in writing and data presentation.
