In conjunction with Research Capstone Part 2 (MEDI90099), this subject builds on the Cancer Research subject (MEDI90086) by supporting students with the research, design and presentation of a project proposal and substantial literature review that will form the basis of their research project.
In doing so, students will put into practice the advanced theoretical knowledge they have learnt during other Master of Cancer Sciences subjects and have the chance to explore an area of interest to them in detail. It will reinforce their abilities to evaluate existing research, utilise appropriate methodological techniques in cancer research, and to critically analyse and reflect on data.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject students should be able to:
- Assimilate, analyse and critically evaluate existing knowledge within a scientific paradigm
- Conduct research within a translational/clinical environment
- Formulate testable hypotheses, aims and experimental design
- Independently manage a research project
- Effectively construct and express coherent scientific arguments
- Prepare and deliver scientific results in a written format
Generic skills
- Advanced analytic skills
- Skills in working collaboratively with individuals, groups and organisations
- Increased capacity to manage unfamiliar problems
- Improved written and communication skills
- Increased ability to work independently and be self-motivated
