This entails a research project in any area of Biochemistry relevant to the goals of the Department. Projects will be undertaken by all students in the Final Year (Level 400), and will be supervised by a lecturer (not necessarily from the Department). Students can choose their research topics from list of topics offered by the department in areas such as Cellular / Biomolecular, Biochemical Toxicology, Clinical Biochemistry and Food Science/Technology/Nutrition. Experimental work is preceded by proposal writing and presentation. Students will be expected to carry out an independent study of their research topics, which will be written and submitted at the end of the second semester.
