Autumn teaching

On this module, you’ll develop the skills to conduct real-world science, including:

• science communication to specialised and general audiences
• data handling
• the production of figures
• critical evaluation of research.

You’ll learn about the planning and day-to-day running of research projects to prepare for your own project.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 17 hours of contact time and about 133 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
