Research Project in Computational Biomedical Sciences (INIM0038)

The practical project forms a major part of the Integrated BSc in Mathematics, Computers and Medicine. This project will provide first-hand experience at the interface between biomedical research (especially laboratory- based research) and mathematical and computational analysis. The student will undertake a project supervised by a research-active scientist who is using mathematical or computational approaches to investigate a problem of biomedical interest. The project may include elements of laboratory-based work, but may also include projects, which are purely computational and/or mathematical. Projects may be supervised by appropriate individuals from across the range of UCL faculties.

Intended learning outcomes

Skills, knowledge and experience of carrying out an independent inter-disciplinary research using computational and/or mathematical techniques to investigate an open research question in biomedicine.
	Skills and experience in written and oral presentation of research.
	Critical appraisal of research limitations, including ethical and data privacy issues as applied to research.
	An understanding of the fundamentals of carrying out hypothesis driven science in a rigorous and reproducible way.

Researching Education and Society: Qualitative Methods (EDPS0009)

The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the practices of a social science research community. The module design offers students the opportunity to learn about research by directly experiencing it and reflecting on their experiences. Students will:

undertake a group research project under the guidance of the lecturer and seminar leaders
	learn about qualitative research methods and theories, and the advantages and disadvantages of these different methods
	work collaboratively, exploring research questions chosen by the class
