The M.Sc. research project provides students with the necessary resources and time to independently investigate a specific scientific topic (selected by the student with appropriate guidance of the academic staff). It aims to provide experience of planning, undertaking and reporting an independent research project (supervision available as required).

The main body of the project will provide a framework for testing a scientific hypothesis of an experimental, computational or observational nature. Where appropriate to the particular research topic, the project will provide experience in field survey work, laboratory practice, operation of analytical equipment and computer modeling. Students will be responsible for managing their time effectively and will receive the freedom to push their independent research in any feasible direction that resources allow.

The final part of the project will focus on developing the skills required for communicating in science. Specifically, at this stage the project module aims to train students to integrate the results from literature searching, experimental, computational and observational scientific research into a single report detailing their research project

The module will provide students with training and practice in the acquisition of information and data from experimental, observational and computational research and the effective communication of their results. Students will integrate the various stages of their literature, experimental, computational and observational research into a scientific project report. The bulk of the module will be self-study.
