. "Biological and environmental sciences honours project"@en . . "40.0" . "Module Description\nThe Hons dissertation is a project that runs through your entire final year and allows you to carry out an original piece of scientific research on a subject of your choice, covering contemporary environmental and biological sciences. \n\nThis is your opportunity to do some independent in-depth analysis on a topic that most excited you during your undergrad studies. During the project you’ll have the guidance and advice of a dedicated supervisor. \n\nIn the autumn semester's Biological and Environmental Sciences Honours Project Start (SCIU9PS), you'll have reviewed the scientific literature to identify your research aims and objectives. You'll have proceeded with planning your research (including obtaining ethical approval and producing a risk assessment) and may have already started to collect relevant data.\n\nNow it is time to analyse and interpret your results using appropriate methodologies. You will report and discuss your results with a written document (the thesis) and an oral presentation or a video. This module will allow you to develop a critical appreciation of key theoretical and practical concepts through your review of the scientific literature, your hands-on research and your dissemination of results through written material and oral presentations.\n\nLocation/Method of Study\nStirling/On Campus, UK\n\nModule Objectives\nYou will gather scientific data and analyse them quantitatively or qualitatively.\n\nThe results will be interpreted and discussed in the thesis.\n\nThe research findings will be presented in a thesis and a talk.\n\nAdditional Costs\n£TBC If the project requires fieldwork, there could be additional costs associated with travel to the field site. This is project specific, therefore please discuss with your potential supervisor.\n\nCore Learning Outcomes\nOn successful completion of the module, you should be able to:\n\ncollect a dataset that is sufficient to test your hypothesis and/or address your research question;\nanalyse your dataset using contemporary methods and/or statistical approaches, and present the data in appropriate formats;\nreport your results to different audiences in the form of a detailed dissertation thesis written in the form of a scientific document and a short oral presentation summarizing your work to a lay audience.\nIntroductory Reading and Preparatory Work\nPlease contact your supervisor for a list of readings that is appropriate to your project.\n\nA more general text we recommend is the following (available from the library): Fisher, Elizabeth; Thompson, Richard: Enjoy Writing Your Science Thesis or Dissertation!  - a Step-by-Step Guide to Planning and Writing a Thesis or Dissertation for Undergraduate and Graduate Science Students.

"Environmental Geography is an integrated four-year degree course that provides you with training across the spectrum of the subject. We emphasise research-led and experience-based approaches to understanding the complex relationships between people and the planet. With an international context, the course is designed to give you essential skills in critical thinking and reasoning, fieldwork, laboratory work, statistics and geospatial analysis.\n\nSemesters 1-2 focus on the building of planet Earth and the surface processes responsible for the evolution of our landscape. Alongside these core earth-science modules you'll be introduced to how people interact with the environment and the most pressing human-environment issues of the 21st century – including global warming, water resources, pollution and biodiversity loss.\n\nIn Semesters 3-4, the emphasis is on field skills, biogeography and environmental resilience, including the essential systems of nutrient cycling for sustaining life on Earth.\n\nIn Semesters 5-6, research-led teaching provides a wide range of advanced modules that include themes of sustainable environmental resources, palaeo-environments, earth-surface processes and advanced geospatial techniques including remote sensing and GIS. You'll also learn about sustainable development issues and there is a choice of skills-centred field courses in Year 3.\n\nIn your final year you'll develop and apply your research skills through your Honours research project. You'll be closely supported by your academic supervisor and can actively participate in national and international research programmes. In doing so, you can take full advantage of the wider geographical research community at the University."@en . . . "4"@en . "FALSE" . . "Bachelor"@en . "Thesis" .
