Original research is undertaken in an approved neuroscience research group as part of your Research Project 2 (April-August). It is permissible for this to be an extension of the same project and/or in the same laboratory as project 1. During this time you develop awareness of a new research field or develop your awareness of a research field related to that in project 1. You develop and apply research skills to address a particular research question and aims.
The assessment is made up of two parts:
- An illustrated oral presentation of the work related to Project 2 (15 credits)
- Supervisor report of project 2. This comprises a report from the project supervisor on the standard of your laboratory work (5 credits).
