Course description

This course provides students with the opportunity to undertake a short discipline-based research project associated with their topic of interest, under the supervision of an experienced researcher. It is available to students seeking a second research project course after completing SCIE3121. Students taking the course will expand on the core research skills relevant to their discipline, such as safe laboratory and/or fieldwork practices, critical engagement with the literature, development of hypotheses, experimental design, proofs, recording and analysing data, interpreting results, and written and oral communication. Through interactions with their supervisors and through critical review of contemporary literature, students will develop an advanced perspective of their research discipline, identifying areas of future interest, societal needs, and training and employment opportunities. To obtain permission to enrol in this course, students must discuss their project with, and obtain approval from, an appropriate supervisor.

Students must complete the SCIE3121/SCIE3122 Project Application Form by 2pm on the Friday before Week One of their commencing semester and submit the completed form via email to enquiries@scmb.uq.edu.au or to the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB) Administration Office, Level 3, Chemistry Building (68). Once the application is approved by the Course Coordinator, you will be able to enrol in your course via mySI-net. You will receive an email with enrolment instructions once you are able to enrol.
