STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

A  substantial programme of research will be performed by the student,
the prime purpose being to give the student experience in carrying out
biological research.

SYNOPSIS:

This  involves students in a research project which will be supervised
by  a  member of staff with appropriate expertise and which forms  the
basis  of  the  project component of the Graduate Diploma  program  in
Biology.   It  may  consist of pure or developmental  research  in  an
important  area of biology and be based on experimental work conducted
either  within  the  University or elsewhere  in  conjunction  with  a
government or private organisation.  Biology Project A and B  need  to
be  undertaken in consecutive semesters.  At the conclusion  of  their
research  program, students are required to submit a detailed research
thesis.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. demonstrate practical experience in the performance of
   original research in biology.
   
2. demonstrate real-world practical problems and the limitations
   these place on scientific advances.
   
3. demonstrate work in a research environment
   
4. demonstrate expertise in critically reviewing scientific
   literature and in the delivery of research seminars.
