Aims:
On successful completion of the unit, the students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered though regular supervision meetings involving discussion of progress, technical advice, and guidance. These will be supplemented by a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, supported by live online sessions, to provide the key organisational and practical skills required to develop a preliminary technical project report.
