SummaryThe Student Selected Component (SSC) makes up a significant part of the teaching in year 4 and is an important component of the programme. The SSC is an opportunity to initiate, plan and carry out a research project. This can be in an area of medicine of the student's choice, working with a supervisor who is a leader in their field. The onus is on the student to set up their own project. Each Year 4 student will carry out an SSC during a 14 week period, combined in the timetable with the Special Senses course. Students will be able to concentrate on a specific field of enquiry whilst enjoying responsibility for planning, implementing and evaluating project activities. It is anticipated that the experience will not only increase research skills, but also provide students with a way of thinking about their own strengths and weaknesses. It will also allow students to gain insight and in-depth knowledge into a specific area of medicine and is an opportunity to spend time in a Department of their choice.
