Environmental and Social Assessment of Infrastructure (BPLN0112)

This module covers the regulations and guidelines around Environmental and Social Impact Assessments for infrastructure, the process and techniques involved in conducting these assessments as well as their critical evaluation. The module also aims at providing students with theories, models, concepts and real-world examples to help them better understand recent trends in environmental and infrastructure planning, critically reflect on important issues and dilemmas affecting current practice (e.g. economic growth vs environmental protection; short- vs long-term interests; local vs global issues, individual vs general interests) and develop skills and knowledge to tackle complex infrastructure challenges, from mitigating climate change and developing clean energy to expanding green infrastructures and improving integrated transport networks.

Advanced Investigative Project in Biological Sciences (BIOL0018)

The primary aim of BIOL0018 is to enable students to undertake an individual review of published literature on a specified topic with one-to-one supervision by an academic from the Department of GEE (UCL), its associated departments (UCL) and affiliated Institutions. You will develop skills in searching literature databases for scholarly articles relevant to your project, critically evaluating published work, presenting it in a scientific report and understanding of scholarly writing. These projects will not involve day-by-day working in a laboratory environment but you may attend group meetings and visit the laboratory. This can help provide a context for your review of the research literature. This module does not have lectures beyond an introductory lecture, and a ‘how to write up your project’ lecture.

Learning Objectives

Guided by your supervisor, you will learn how to:

Identify a scientific research topic that is suitable for review
	Collate and summarise research findings from the primary research literature and reviews
	Evaluate and compare your findings
	Present a structured written report following a specified format
	Convey your findings and conclusions to others in an oral presentation
Please note that you will be asked to indicate preferred topics from the list provided by the Project Tutor. The Project Tutor, in conjunction with the allocation committee, will then assign specific projects within these topics. Guidance on selecting topics will be available from the 3rd Year Tutor and the Project Tutor. It may be an option for you to design your own project with a supervisor of your choice at UCL. Projects cannot be designed with supervisors from other Universities. All projects must be agreed by the Project Tutor.
