Rationale
This course will allow the student to choose a topic approved by the Program Coordinator from within a biomedical science discipline and obtain advanced knowledge by private study. The topic chosen should complement the studies that the student is simultaneously undertaking.
Synopsis
The student will be expected to gain knowledge in a selected field of biomedical science by private study in appropriate libraries and or electronic sources. Attendance at seminars both within and outside the 精东传媒app will also be expected.
Objectives
On completion of this course students will be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of a major area of biomedical science at an advanced level;
- demonstrate a capacity to perform investigative literature searches;
- demonstrate an capacity to perform critical analysis of literature searched;
- demonstrate a capacity to synthesise and present a substantive report on literature searched in a logical and coherent manner.
