Summary This will allow the candidate to analyse and present relevant research data in the field of Translational Medicine that they have generated during the course of their own work. Alternatively, the candidate may wish to undertake a desk study to explore and develop a theme of relevance to their current working environment, or in an area of interest that has arisen during their period of study on the MSc. This feature will require a high level of commitment and application from the candidate and provides a valuable exercise in the writing and presentation of information to a standard that engages appropriately with academic conventions in relation to style, tone, structuring and referencing.
