An important component of the MRes in Brain Science is an empirical research project that constitutes two-thirds of the total number of credits for the programme (120 of a total of 180 credits). The research project will entail a comprehensive and independent piece of research in any area of brain science, usually on a topic of specific interest. Research projects will be supervised by leading investigators in their field of expertise. Students will therefore be exposed to and have the opportunity to experience and contribute to cutting-edge research in a world-class research environment. Students will be provided with a description and project outline of available supervised projects, and will integrate core skills in research acquired through the Research Methods and Skills Training modules with their specific project selection. Assessment of the research project will include a publication-level research article and an oral presentation of project findings. The research project is a key aspect of the programme in preparing students for future research careers in academia, industry or business.

The module seeks to equip students with the basic principles for real estate in an attempt to provide them with a thorough understanding of the complexities of real estate as a resource and the markets in which they are traded. Students will be introduced to the analytical framework of real estate, real estate legal analyses, the real estate service industries, real estate market and market analysis, real estate investment and finance, and environmental issues in real estate.

Students will be provided with opportunities to develop their analytical, innovative, interpretative, collaborative and communication skills and be empowered with a solid foundation as a starting point for more advanced modules in subsequent years.
