The aim of this module is to enable you to apply knowledge, independent thinking and problem-solving skills to a topic which has not been covered in the taught modules. The project module provides experience in managing an investigative project over a long period.  The project may involve theoretical, mathematical, computational or experimental work or a combination of all. 
The majority of the projects put forward are inspired and underpinned by the various related research activities in the School or in collaboration with industrial partners. 
Some of the key elements identifying the process are: 
<ul><li>Detailed literature search </li></ul>
<ul><li>Critical review of available information </li></ul>
<ul><li>Understanding of research methodology and research ethics </li></ul>
<ul><li>Planning and execution of the project </li></ul>
<ul><li>Analysis and evaluation of results </li></ul>
<ul><li>Dissemination of conclusions </li></ul>

Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy.
