This module will build on key components of Research Skills in Biomedical Sciences 1 (MEDI6049) where students learn to develop a research hypothesis and project in addition to statistical methodology.
This module will enable students to gain understanding and develop the skills required to design and write up a research proposal for their three year PhD project proposal. You will construct a research hypothesis for your PhD project and develop this into a research proposal including a background section, statement of the problem, research hypothesis with aims and objectives, what types of data will be collected,organising data sets and consider how to analyse these, present the data and statistical findings appropriately and what research impact these findings might have
The course is taught through a combination of initial lectures with interactive sessions and presentations based on your first rotation project, prospective meetings with your PhD project supervisor to discuss the development of your proposal and mainly independent study. At the end of this module, you should understand how to analyse a variety of types of data, and to be able to evaluate the analysis of data in published research.

This module will provide you with the advanced knowledge and skills you need to be a successful researcher and scholar in the field of literary studies. You will learn about the methodologies of theory and criticism, book history, textual editing, and archival research. The module will help you to define a distinctive approach to a literary research topic; differentiate between scholarly sources and evaluate the limits of a literary critical monograph; participate in the research culture of the department and the Faculty through research seminars; reflect on the material form and history of the book; acquire skills in effective scholarly presentation and referencing; and learn how to mobilise theoretical concepts and historical sources in the close literary analysis of texts. As well as providing excellent preparation for doctoral study, this module provides high-level transferable skills.

This module prepares you for your own research work. The module will examine the process of writing a structured essay on a topic related to the dissertation project, formulating a research proposal, identifying the problems this may pose and the benefits it may bring. It will also give you practice in conducting bibliographical searches and analyses. The module will further familiarise you with the facilities offered by the library and with internet resources. Through the seminars, the module will give you an opportunity to articulate, discuss and evaluate your developing thoughts on possible dissertation themes.

This module forms the final year of their Astrophysics with a Year of Research degree. The student will have completed a significant research project, ideally of publishable quality, under the guidance of a supervisor from the Astronomy Group at the University of Southampton

Trainees will identify a core research topic that will form the basis of their research thesis. The thesis will need to include a review relevant theoretical, empirical and professional practice literatures and trainees will be required to generate clearly defined research questions and select appropriate research methods for data collection and analysis. Trainees will engage with the implications of their proposed research for educational psychology science and practice, and associated ethical implications. Trainees will gain experience of managing a research project and research budget.

Towards the end of year 1 trainees will be supported by the Research Director to identify a team of supervisors (one of whom must be a member of Academic Staff in the School Psychology) who will provide research supervision and guidance throughout the thesis. Trainees work with their supervisory team to develop a research proposal that provides a clear rationale for the project, identifies testable research questions and hypotheses (if appropriate) or clear research questions and aims, and specifies the participants, methods of data collection and analysis as well as data storage via a Data Management Plan. The research proposal is submitted in December of Yr 2 for approval by supervisors and with oversight of the module coordinator. Following approval, trainees conduct a risk assessment and submit the final project plans for approval by the University of Southampton Ethics and Research Governance Office (ERGO) (trainees are responsible for also checking whether any external ethics committees and/or R&D departments where appropriate). Data collection and analysis is completed throughout years 2 and 3.
The written thesis takes the form of a two paper thesis – a systematic review and an empirical study written in publishable form, with a substantiative introduction that demonstrates understanding of the broader field in which the research is situated. The thesis is submitted towards the end of Sem 2 Yr 3. Trainees present their thesis findings at the annual Postgraduate Research Conference (June, Yr 3), and for viva in the summer of Yr 3. Trainees subsequently amend their thesis in accordance with the examiner reports and archive the ratified thesis with the Graduate School and on efolio. Where appropraite, trainees are asked to prepare their research for submission to a suitable peer-reviewed journal prior to completing the Programme.
