(Award available for year: Bachelor of Science)
On completion of the year/programme students should have provided evidence of being able to:
- Develop, integrate, synthesise and apply the systematic and broad understanding of relevant and state-of-the-art concepts in microbiology, to solve complex problems.
- Interrogate and integrate diverse sources of scientific literature, in order to design and develop methods for investigation and analysis as part of an extended piece of research on a microbiological topic.
- Identify and implement appropriate project planning strategies for an extended research project in microbiology, which could include evaluation of ethics, hazards, environmental effects, sustainability and appreciation of costs.
- Critically evaluate the outcomes of a research project and incorporate any new findings into our understanding of microbiology as a discipline.
Students will have had the opportunity to acquire, as defined in the modules specified for the programme:
- Work in a research environment with a high degree of autonomy and independence.
- Demonstrate skills in effective teamwork and leadership, working with others in an equitable and inclusive manner.
- Communicate research data and ideas to a range of audiences, using subject-matter knowledge to defend a point of view.
- Demonstrate advanced experimental, investigative, and other professional competencies important to the successful execution of an extended research project.
Achievement will be assessed by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the modules specified for the year and will include:
1. Evidencing an ability to conduct independent in-depth enquiry in Microbiology;
2. Demonstrating the ability to apply knowledge to complex areas in Microbiology;
3. Drawing on a range of perspectives within Microbiology;
4. Evaluating and criticising received information and opinion;
5. Demonstrate work that is both evaluative and creative.
