This is one of the courses used to comprise the 30 UOC research project under the supervision of an academic in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science to fulfil the requirements of a Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science stream in the Graduate Diploma (Research) program.

All students have a supervisor and are assigned an examiner by the Postgraduate Coordinator in BABS. In their first term students will submit a literature review to their supervisor for feedback on their writing and critique of the available literature. Students are then expected to present a seminar and submit a written thesis at the completion of their project. The thesis will contribute 75%, the seminar will contribute 5% and the average of the three course work subjects taken contribute 20% of the final mark.

This course is only available to students enrolled into the Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science stream of the Graduate Diploma (Research) in the Faculty of Science.
