MAT360 Mini Guided Project

Aims/Description: The module will consist of two semester-long projects with weekly tutorials with an academic tutor. The mini-project in semester one will focus on the development of written communication skills. The mini-project in semester two will allow students to conduct a research project of their choice, embedded within a research group in the department. This will start with a data management and project planning task, developing their own project proposal, followed by an eight-week research project. The students will also work as a team to develop a piece of digital public engagement over the academic year.
