| Summary | Honours Physiology with Management Project |
| Course description |
All students will carry out a Research Project in Semester 2. Projects will be supervised by members of academic staff in the University. Projects can either be in Physiology or in Management. For physiology projects, students will select their Dissertation topic either from the list of titles offered using the ¿Portal¿ system; or, if you wish to pursue a special topic that interests you for a library project, you yourself must identify and consult an appropriate member of the Edinburgh Physiology community who would be willing to supervise a Dissertation on that topic. Selection of a Management project will be done in consultation with the Physiology Programme Organiser and may entail a supervisor from the Business School.
Projects will either be laboratory-based or library-based. Some library-based projects can be worked on by a group of up to 4 students.
Students will write a Dissertation on their project research, and will also present their findings in an assessed oral presentation. For group projects, a joint dissertation is written. Sessions on how to write a dissertation and on giving a talk will be given as part of the Physiology Core course.
