Laboratory Science Capstone Project

In this course, learners will research, develop and implement a scientific work-based project of their choosing. Learners will undertake critical analysis of the literature and develop and implement a robust procedure of scientific inquiry.

Data analysis will be a key focus of the project, using appropriate analytical, statistical and data visualisation methods to draw robust and balanced conclusions. The project is assessed through a dissertation and viva voce exam. Typical project examples include implementation of a new analytical technique; experimental design to contribute to an R&D project or design of a new synthetic step within a formulation pathway.
