This is a 60-credit empirical research project in an area related to Clinical and/or Health Psychology. Students will develop and carry out a research project under the supervision of a member of staff with expertise in Clinical and/or Health Psychology. Students can work on an existing project or design an original study, the topic of which must be agreed by staff. The module runs over the full academic year; that is from October to September. The module will be taught via four (two hour) assessment workshops and supervisory meetings and assessed via a 6000-word research report. Students will define a research question, collect data using an appropriate methodology and analyse and present the data in the form of written report written for an academic journal. In the first semester they will learn how to write a research proposal for a Research Council based on their research project and in the second semester they will present their research project in the form of an academic poster.
