Handbook

This topic aims to deepen the student's understanding of research methods and ethics through the application of this knowledge to a scientific research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor. Through participation in research activities, students will acquire a defined body of evidence-based knowledge from established biological, clinical, epidemiological, social and/or behavioural sciences. Research activities may include, but are not limited to, conducting a literature review; laboratory work; data collection and analysis; and reporting of results. Students will work independently and/or in groups to conduct either primary or secondary research or critical appraisal exercises in collaboration with research teams, organisations, and community groups. Assessment reinforces this learning through reflection and communication tasks.
