Course Details

In this course, students will have a chance to integrate both knowledge and skills they have learnt previously in other major courses on biostatistics and epidemiology, bioethics, research techniques, experimental design and journal analysis, and put them into practice. Students will undertake an in-depth research project under the supervision of a faculty member from the School of Biomedical Sciences. Research work should commence during the summer period preceding the final year of attendance. Besides learning basic and advance techniques specific for the research projects, students will learn the skills essential for scientific research including literature search, critical thinking, teamwork and communication skills. The literature review, design and results of the research project will be presented at a seminar in the final year of attendance and submitted in the format of a thesis.
