MSci Investigative Project in Molecular Biosciences (BIOC0024)

Students in the fourth year of our MSci programme spend the whole year working in a research laboratory within the department. A range of project titles are offered by SMB staff in areas that complement the taught material in the Molecular Biosciences degree programmes. Under supervision, students will carry out original experimental, modeling, bioinformatic or analysis work over terms 1 and 2.

Delivery will be through laboratory or computational work and discussions with supervisor and other members of the host laboratory. Lectures/seminars/lab meetings and workshops will be used to give general advice on experimental design, time management, analysis of results, report writing and preparation for presentations. Students will maintain detailed records of their experiments and use these to prepare a comprehensive report of all their research (materials, methods and results) in the style of a paper from the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Bioc0024 is assessed via a grant proposal exercise where students will be asked to consider the background to their project, the hypothesis and aims, experimental design and expected outcomes and benefits.

Research and Dissemination of Architectural History (BARC0041)

The module investigates the proposition that different ways of researching, working and communicating architectural history allow different information to be obtained and different things to be said about the subject, and different audiences to be reached. The module introduces students to some of the different ways in which architectural history may be researched, applied and communicated outside of conventional forms of scholarship, and to some of the basic skills involved.

Students successfully completing this module gain an increased knowledge of these different areas, and an introduction to the skills involved. Students also gain a greater awareness of the benefits and challenges such activities offer to the discipline of architectural history.
