This module explores the diverse skills needed for a successful research project, and subsequent career. The module covers research ethics, health and safety, effective literature searching, data analysis and management, design of experiments, as well as introductions to the specific equipment and techniques that will be required for research projects.
Appreciate and apply the breadth of skills required for successful research, including funding and resources.
Employ advanced skills in order to conduct research, recognising the strengths and limitations of different experimental designs
Show mastery of the equipment and instrumentation required for the planned research projects, utilising it safely and effectively.
Appreciate research in the wider context and be able to write a research proposal.
The specific module learning outcomes map onto the following Programme Learning Outcomes
PLO1: Apply whole systems thinking and inter/trans-disciplinary approaches to the creative problem solving of complex global grand challenges using holistic green chemistry and sustainable industrial technology related interventions in concert with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)
PLO2: Apply a range of advanced research skills, principles, methodologies and approaches to be able to undertake cutting-edge research, either laboratory or non-laboratory based, in the area of green and sustainable chemistry and allied sectors.
PLO3: Effectively communicate detailed, complex, green and sustainable chemistry research concepts to both experts and non-experts through the application of a variety of key transferable skills such as IT, scientific writing, oral presentations, posters, team-working,etc.
PLO4:Critically evaluate and debate research literature and explain its relevance to green chemistry frameworks, including and beyond the 12 Principles, development of circular bio based economies, UN SDGs and decolonisation of research.
