Extended Project (6 months internship)

​

Six months research project, scheduled between January and August (24 ECTS)

 

The extended project, on a bioacoustics topic, will be completed during a 6-month placement in a research laboratory (Scientific research lab, research agency or industrial partner) between January and August. Students will be involved in the design, implementation of a scientific project and prepare the publication of its results (regardless of outcome/significance).

 

Assessment

​

This module will be assessed by a dissertation that will have to be written and formatted as a Proceedings B article, as well as a 20 minutes presentation. There will be two submission deadlines: June 15th (June session) and August 30th (September session).

​

June session (dates to be confirmed):

Submission June 15th ->  Marks released by June 30th

 

September session:

Submission August 30th -> Marks released by September 15th

 

Learning outcomes

 

By the end of the module, a successful student should be able to:

1. Demonstrate the ability to contribute to the design and to conduct a substantial experimental study in the field of Bioacoustics.

2. Demonstrate the ability to analyse the data from a substantial experimental study in the field of Bioacoustics. 

3. Demonstrate the ability to report and illustrate the outcome of a substantial experimental study in scientific format. 

 

 

Schedule

 

Weeks 13 and 14: open-door sessions.

​

Spring & Summer terms: individual progress monitoring sessions (open door or visio).

Summer term: Feedback and assessment sessions.
