Research Project Options:

Route A

In the third semester students on Route A of the MSc in Clinical Neurology select one of two, sixty credit options:

• Option 1 - A research project (no patient contact)
• Option 2 - A research project (patient contact)

Students on route A will choose either a laboratory-based or clinical research project based at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) ; a brand new, state-of-the-art translational neuroscience facility opened by Her Majesty the Queen in November 2010.

The research project is assessed from the written dissertation and viva voce examination. Research projects involving patient contact will require the student to complete a CRB check and if required apply for a research passport approved by the local NHS trust involved in the sponsorship of the research.
