Professional Skills
The communication skills component brings together all the skills that you have gained in the previous two years: finding and evaluating information; written, oral and poster presentations. You prepare individual contributions for a conference that will be attended by all students taking this module, namely a poster and a talk. You will also prepare a project plan, and timetable for your project.
BSc Project
The BSc project is an open-ended investigation which is conducted in small groups or individually. Each project has a specific academic supervisor who will give guidance and assistance as needed at regular supervisory meetings.
A list of the projects on offer for each academic year is made available towards the end of Term 3 of the preceding academic year. Projects will be offered in areas specific to your degree programme.
Project work builds on the expertise that you have already acquired in Years 1 and 2. The aim is to develop your ability to design, carry out and report on an extended investigation. The project will provide an opportunity for creativity and original thought on your part.
For further details, see the BSc Projects Student Handbook and assessment pro forma, which will be available on the VLE
Further details will be given by the Project Module Co-ordinator at the beginning of term 1 in the form of an induction session.
