Description for 2024/25

The dissertation is an opportunity for students to undertake laboratory based research in their chosen topic and should demonstrate their understanding of the field via applications in healthcare. During the dissertation period, the student will be assigned a project supervisor, having agreed a research project in discussion with research institute staff. The location for the project may be the research institute, Keele campus, hospital or with an industrial partner.

Aims
The aims of the project module are to allow students to demonstrate the synthesis of learning developed throughout the taught modules, and apply this to the planning, execution and reporting of a research project.
