This is a compulsory and restricted module for MSc in Biotechnology for a Sustainable Future. The project involves individual work carried out by the student under the supervision of a member of faculty or one of the staff of an associated institute. The research project is often one of the most enjoyable and useful experiences in a student's science training. The module is intimately linked with BIO-M12Y Research Skills. BIO-M12Y involves the formulation of hypotheses and the design of experiments to test those hypotheses. In this module (BIO-M13Y) the students will carry out the experiments, analyse the data generated and critically assess the formulated hypotheses in light of their findings.
