Requisites: In taking this module you cannot take SL32139 OR take SL32063
Learning Outcomes: After taking this unit you will be able to:
* demonstrate the intellectual and technical requirements for productive, rigorous and responsible scientific investigation and reporting;
* write scientifically at the level of a primary research paper and/or review;
* demonstrate technical, time and resource management, analytical, interpretative and literature-accessing skills appropriate to the undertaking and presentation of your project.


Synopsis: This project involves the investigation of a scientific hypothesis using lab or non-lab techniques. You will explore the hypothesis in depth using methods to generate new data such as bench-based experiments; in silico experiments; meta-analyses; surveys. Through their analysis, interpretation, and evaluation you will create original conclusions based on these findings. You will act as a research scientist trying to push forward the boundaries of knowledge and understanding.

Content: Selection and definition of a problem, under the supervision of a Project Supervisor, that can be investigated effectively within constraints of safety, time and resources; strategic planning; gathering, processing, analysis and interpretation of information; literature searching and reviewing; scientific writing and presentation. The problem will be investigated through bench-based experiments (lab research) or non-bench work methodology (non-lab research).
