Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- 3. The Pharmacology Project provides the opportunity for you to explore a defined topic under general supervision.
- Library-based projects offer an excellent opportunity to carry out an in depth review of the current research status of a topical field of interest and its future prospects for development - especially suitable for those students who have already decided that their future career will not be based in experimental pharmacology.
- A laboratory-based project enables a student to gain insight into the pleasures, difficulties, and complexity associated with biomedical research - this experience will be of considerable benefit for any future career but especially for one in laboratory based research.
- The project dissertation will showcase and assess your ability to review the literature, present methods and results, discuss findings and make proposals for further studies clearly and concisely, with appropriate statistical analysis to support your conclusions.
- 4. Oral presentations will further develop your oral communication skills thereby enhancing your ability to answer, and to ask, critical questions. This transferable skill will be of considerable value in your future employment.
