STB310-1 Science Research 1

Scientific research requires you to conceive, develop and communicate solutions to scientific problems, developing capabilities that are critical for both professionals in the workplace and future researchers. In STB310-1 and 2 you will undertake a small research project over two semesters in the third year of your degree.These units build on skills developed in core research units STB101 and STB200 and will provide you with the opportunity to further develop skills for independent scientific investigation, problem solving, analysis and reporting to answer a research question in area of interest that aligns with future research and career goals. This project will usually act as a pilot project that will support and inform your Honours research in STH403 Advanced Research. On completion of these units you will present your research outcomes in the form of a research paper.
