The research project component of the intercalated BSc in Genomic Medicine. A research project based in one of the world-leading human applied genetic epidemiology centres at Bristol, an analytic review of the human genomics literature, or an analysis of your own genome-wide genetic risk profile.
After this component of the course, students will be able to:
1) conduct supervised research in an area of genomic medicine
2) critically evaluate the literature surrounding a research area and describe how their research fits
3) write a research report in the style of a scientific article
4) present their research to an academic audience
discuss the research and its place in the scientific literature with a scientific audience
Methods of Teaching
This unit will be delivered in the form of workshops and supervisions led by researchers in the area of the research project.
Student Input 400 hours of research
