Some comments from past participants… The most useful part of the module was learning how to begin thinking about a research proposal. The thought processes I used can now be applied to my research project. 3rd year undergraduate (Chemistry) Research as learning is a course that I feel is very useful in contributing to and enhancing the skills required to become an independent researcher. 4th year undergraduate (Biological Sciences) The content of the module was relevant to a wide range of academic backgrounds. The atmosphere in class was very relaxed and friendly. 3rd year undergraduate (Chemistry)
