Project Methods and Preparation

The Project Methods and Preparation module provides the theoretical insight and practical skills required to plan, implement, and report a scientific research project in aquatic sciences. The module is the prequel to the research project in the second semester, allowing the student preparation time to select, research and design their research project. The module includes lectures and assignment / practical work.  There is a high element of self-directed study required in the research of their individual projects.
