Course Overview

The project allows the student to carry out an independent piece of research.

The student will develop generic skills in time management; writing long documents; oral presentations and in independent working. The student will develop subject specific research skills depending on the project chosen. This could involve quantitative or qualitative data collection or systematic review methodology and data analyses.

Students choose the project topic. The content is dependent on the type of project undertaken e.g it could range from pregnant smokers to assess reasons why they smoke to a literature review on incentive schemes to reduce smoking in pregnancy.
