CCS Honours review seminars: 27, 28, 31 October 2014 - All welcome

2014 CCS Honours Students 

Each year, CCS Honours students (BSc, BBiomedSc and MBiomedSc (Part 1) streams) make a final oral presentation of their thesis. The presentation is worth 10% of the overall mark for the year, so it is a significant component of their work. Each presentation is 15 minutes with an additional 5 minutes question and answer time from the panel and audience.

We have now created an index page of research studies at Central Clinical School which are seeking participants. Studies investigate a wide range of diseases, including allergies, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and gluten intolerance, schizophrenia and depression. The studies may seek both well and unwell participants. If you have a study you wish to advertise to recruit participants, you can login (from ribbon along the top) and create your entry at the following link: Research study index
