Module Aims
1. To enable the student to undertake a period of 400 hours of work related learning enabling them to complete a project relevant to the workplace.
2. Apply a range of knowledge and skills learnt throughout the course and to apply concepts and principles outside the context in which they were first studied.
Content Summary
This module is largely self-directed and will allow the student to complete a practical project that is relevant to the workplace, e.g. a scientific investigation on a current, novel or contentious issues or a number of smaller practical projects which must include one single project of 200 hours research.
It is intended that each project will have an industrial link where possible to support current practices/research within Analytical and Forensic Sciences e.g. crime scene investigation, evidence analysis, biotechnology, molecular biology etc.
It would be expected that the student cohort would work on a wide range of subject areas related to the course.
