Description
In this subject, students undertake a research experience with an external organisation (e.g. an external research institute) or with a UTS unit, department, institute or school, in a capacity relevant to their academic studies. This assists in developing their professional attributes related to employability, discipline knowledge and professional networks which can contribute to their career goals. Through their research experience, students are exposed to a subset of the professional research functions and activities relevant to their field of study. Students must undertake approximately 200 hours of work in their professional placement. The specific terms and timeframe of the research experience may be negotiated as a learning contract between the student and the host organisation in consultation with the subject coordinator. Students develop an appreciation of how education and training in the sciences is applied in a workplace by reporting on the outcomes of their placement.
The research experience must be based on an agreed and approved program of work which aims to achieve predetermined learning objectives.
