Research Project

The project should take the form of a proposal for the development of a medical technology (biopharmaceutical or medical device product) to prevent, treat or diagnose a specific medical condition. The student will undertake a literature review to source information on the target condition and current therapies for the treatment of the disease. Based on this information and the student's knowledge gained through the programme, the student should propose an alternative product/technology, for prevention, treatment or diagnosis of said medical condition. Thereafter, students should include a detailed overview of the design, function, clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and financial strategy of their proposed product. 

1. Lead the development of a proposal for the development of a novel medical technology product.

2. Critically evaluate and review literature (and other relevant, reliable sources) using appropriate keywords and databases.

3. Synthesize and collate relevant information from the programme modules to apply their knowledge to a current medical concern and the proposed design, manufacture, marketing and financial strategy of medical technology. 

4. Communicate results of the review in written and oral forms, demonstrating critical analysis, synthesis and organisation of knowledge.
