(Award available for year: Bachelor of Science)
On completion of the year/programme students should have provided evidence of being able to:
- understand and demonstrate coherent and detailed subject knowledge and professional competencies some of which will be informed by recent research/scholarship in Neuroscience;
- deploy accurately standard techniques of analysis and enquiry within the discipline of Neuroscience;
- demonstrate a conceptual understanding which enables the development and sustaining of an argument;
- describe and comment on particular aspects of recent research and/or scholarship;
- appreciate the uncertainty, ambiguity and limitations of knowledge within Neuroscience;
- make appropriate use of scholarly reviews and primary sources;
- apply their knowledge and understanding in order to initiate and carry out an extended piece of work or project
- the communication of information, ideas, problems and solutions in a variety of ways to a variety of audiences.
Students will have had the opportunity to acquire, as defined in the modules specified for the programme:
- the transferable/key/generic skills necessary for employment related to neuroscience;
- the exercise of initiative and personal responsibility;
- the deployment of decision making skills in complex and unpredictable situations;
- the ability to undertake appropriate further training of a professional or equivalent nature.
Achievement will be assessed by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the programme and modules specified for the year/programme and will include:
- Demonstrating the ability to apply a broad range of aspects of neuroscience;
- Work that draws on a wide variety of material;
- The ability to evaluate and criticise received opinion;
- Evidence of an ability to conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within neuroscience or the broader biomedical science discipline;
- Work that is typically both evaluative and creative;
- Assessing the integration of knowledge and understanding across the discipline.
It will encompass a range of both formative and summative assessment at both module and programme level.
