This module will enable students to acquire the theoretical and practical skills they need to perform a research project. The student will learn about literature review, research structure, and principles of statistics, as part of a departmentally organised programme of activities. The student will develop independent learning, during the research skills week and throughout the program will learn the ability to formulate research questions and knowledge in data analysis. The student will be assigned an academic supervisor from the Institute for Women’s Health during the second year of the programme to support the conceptualisation and writing of the thesis. Working in the Ultrasound Screening Unit at UCLH, the student will have the opportunity to acquire valuable ultrasound data as numerous research projects are ongoing and which could represent the start of satellite MSc projects.
