Module: Research Project (CLNEG090 for MRes; 120 credits, CLNEG091 for MSc; 60 credits)
The most hands on way to acquire research skills, learn the research methods is to actively participate in ongoing research projects. The Institute of Neurology at UCL is renowned for its specialist research programmes lead by leading scientists and clinicians in the research field.
Our MSc and MRes students have an opportunity to conduct their own piece of research under the supervision of experienced staff. It is well established that active learning is more effective and across UCL we are encouraging research based learning. Research projects are the best examples as such and could mean career defining decisions for our students when they experience hand on research. These projects are usually smaller parts of a project undertaken by large research teams, and as such, present an excellent opportunity to build professional contacts while acquiring the know-how of research.
MRes students are expected to conduct a total of 1200 hours of research, whereas for MSc students the research project is smaller, 600 hours in total.

Conference presentations:
Our MSc and MRes students attend the UK Neuromuscular Translational Research Conference where they present their projects as a conference poster
Research projects are also presented at the yearly Queen Square Symposium https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/articles/courses/symposium-2016
