Content
This unit will complement the teaching given by the research supervisor. In this unit, students will learn how to design a research project, how to formulate a research hypothesis and develop aims along with appropriate study design to test the hypothesis. The unit places a strong emphasis on developing the student’s understanding of various statistical tests by which to analyse research data, including relevant software. It will also emphasise appropriate professional practice in the workplace and compliance with regulatory authorities. Please note this unit is designed for students completing laboratory based projects (e.g. cell culture and animal model experiments). Students completing clinical/qualitative research projects will gain more benefit from other available units.
