Research Project in Women&#039;s Health (IFWH0021)

This module is an independent research project culminating in a dissertation of 20,000 words. The Research Project and Dissertation module aims to help you to analyse information in a specialised field, and to design and carry out an independent research project. The project can be laboratory-based, clinically focused, qualitative data-based, an analysis of pre-existing data, or a systematic review or meta-analysis. You will agree your research topic in advance of registration or at the start of term 1 and work on your project for the duration of the academic year.

You will be involved in the conceptualisation, design, data collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of the project. This will allow the development of research skills in a specific field as well as a range of transferable skills, including literature searching, statistical analysis and written and verbal communication.

After you have completed this module you should be able to:

Demonstrate increased knowledge and understanding of the chosen topic or field of research;
	Understand the principles of evaluating evidence from published research and how to appraise the work of others;
	Demonstrate the skills to formulate a research question, and to analyse data;

	Make a logical argument and write an independent dissertation that communicates facts and ideas;
	Where applicable, use technical skills in the laboratory or apply key methods and concepts of statistical analysis;
