Biomedical Science Research Project (BIOM30003)Undergraduate Level 3Summer TermSemester 1Semester 2 | In this subject the student contributes to the design of a research project, in consultation with a supervisor; conducts the research; and presents the findings of the project. | Locating and synthesising information available in scientific and other literature in order to establish the need and scope of the research project; | Second or third year of the Bachelor of Biomedicine or Bachelor of Science. If you are enrolled in another undergraduate program, please check with a Stop 1 course adviser. |
Vacation ScholarshipUsually Mid-Year or Summer Term | Undergraduate Science and Biomedicine students have the opportunity to undertake 4-6 weeks work full time on a project. Explore stem cell research themes within The Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience. | Students will work in their supervisor’s laboratory on the design, execution and analysis of a series of experiments. | Student must have discussed the scholarship project with a supervisor in the department and have supervisor approval. The student cannot be enrolled in BIOM30003 or SCIE30001 and the project work cannot be used for academic credit. |
Summer Internships with the Centre for Stem Cell Systems | Students have the opportunity to undertake a project within the Centre for Stem Cell Systems. Project lengths may vary according to circumstances. | Students will work in their supervisor’s laboratory on the design, execution and analysis of a series of experiments. | Not for academic credit. Second and third year undergraduate students and Masters students with an interest in research. The student should contact the supervisor of the project/field of interest.
