This is the Research Project for the MSc Genetics and Multiomics in Medicine.

During this module students will join one of the research UCL labs to work on a research project, computer-based, lab-based or combined. The first part of the module will consist of a literature review aimed at bringing them up-to-date with the subject and also to build up skills like critical evaluation of scientific papers, processing and summarizing information and written communication. They will receive feedback from the tutor thus preparing them for the dissertation. Virtual work will be arranged for distance learning students and they will be able to take part in group meetings with their colleagues and tutors via online tools.

The Collections Care module will benefit all those with responsibility for collections and will focus on the challenges inherent in preservation management, conservation programming and the collection care needs of library and archival material; this will include digital preservation, photographic media, disaster planning and archival standards. In this way, this module will reflect a wider focus and be relevant to those studying Information Management and those with responsibilities for providing access to information.

A range of guest speakers will introduce many of the topics, which will include the moving of book and archive collections, the management of archival building projects and the challenges presented by photographs, film, and audio-visual materials. There will also be opportunities to hear experts talk on environmental management issues, on preparing for, and managing a disaster, and a practical session, utilising digital preservation software. In addition students will be encouraged to interact with speakers and will have formal sessions for the preparation of questions to encourage both interaction and debate. The programme, consists of ten sessions, and will present a wide- ranging and exceptional series of lectures on all the key aspects of collections care.
