Learning outcomes
The undergraduate thesis project should provide the student with knowledge of how to seek scientific facts and how to plan, carry out and present scientific work as well as theoretical and practical specialisation within a biomedical subject area.
Upon completion of the course the student is expected to:
- be able to search scientific literature
- be able to summarise scientific literature
- show basic knowledge on planning and performance of a scientific work
- show basic knowledge on analysis of scientific data
- be able to discuss scientific data
- be able to present scientific data and conclusions in written and oral form
Content
The course is in the form of an individual project work. The studies are individually supervised. They include: practical work in close conjunction to ongoing neurobiologocal research at the department; compilation and critical analyses of scientific results; search and summary of scientific literature; oral and written presentations.
Instruction
The studies take place under individual supervision and include literature studies, seminar exercises and practical work.
Assessment
The project should be presented as a seminar in front of experts in the subject. The project should also be presented as a written scientific report, which will be the basis for the examination.
