This unit (HBD4204) seeks to develop a student's capacity to become a researcher and or to develop specific knowledge in their chosen field of dermal science. Students will be working with an approved research project from HBD4104 Independent Projects and Group Research 1. They will need to collect data according to appropriate research guidelines then undertake the process of analysing the collected data using the appropriate research methodology. Students will then write a minor thesis on the research findings or in a format ready for publication. Students will also present their independent project outcomes via a presentation in a conference style format.
