How we do this
Research is seamlessly built into the BSMS curriculum. Student-Selected Components (SSCs) in Years 1 and 3 provide the chance to get involved in research at an early stage, while all students conduct an Individual Research Project (IRP) in Year 4. This involves collaborative research with a member(s) of faculty to develop a hypothesis, design methodology, data collection and analysis, and a written report.
