The course is centred on conducting original research under an academic supervisor, in order to develop independent research skills and experience. The details of the project will be negotiated between the student and the supervisor/s and be approved by the relevant School’s Associate Director (Science Education) prior to enrolment. The research project may be conducted within a research group or in collaboration with an industry or government body. The project may be on a topic that is of interest to and/or encompasses multiple disciplines in Health and Medicine.
