The module is predominantly self-directed and fosters independent learning. Some optional and mandatory tutorials/workshops will be included to cover issues such as literature searching and conducting a literature review by the Module Lead. Students will be allocated individual supervisors and meetings are to be negotiated between student and academic supervisors during the course of Year 3.
Students work independently supported by an allocated research supervisor
Learning will be supported by on-line resources to which the student will have access on and off campus.
* It is expected that students will meet with personal tutor/ supervisor at least twice during the term.
* In addition, personal tutorials can be arranged with the module lead.
* It is the student's responsibility to attend group tutorials and to arrange any personal tutorials with the module lead.
The student will be expected to engage in a range of research related activities: searching the literature, visiting the library, meeting clinicians, attending seminars and participating in conferences. Students will develop a number of transferrable skills from searching the literature, reading research papers, and using critical appraisal frameworks to make informed decisions about practice.
