Related Course/s:

A minor thesis unit of study in the Graduate Diploma of Science (Good Manufacturing Practices), Master of Science (Good Manufacturing Practices) and Master of Science (Good Manufacturing Practices) (Honours).

Aims & Objectives:

To provide students with the opportunity to conduct research into or under or relating to GMP conditions.

Teaching Methods:

Self-directed study and/or laboratory work under the guidance of a supervisor.

Assessment:

Progress Reports (40%)
Thesis or Final Report (60%)

Generic Skills Outcomes:

Students are expected to enhance several of their graduate attributes and their generic skills during this unit of study and should consult with your lecturer if not clear as to how this unit of study achieves this. The graduate attributes and generic skills which relate to this unit of study help to produce students who:

are capable in their chosen professional, vocational or study areas,
are entrepreneurial in contributing to innovation and development within their business, workplace, or community,
operate effectively and ethically in work and community situations,
are adaptable and manage change, and
are aware of environments in which they will be contributing.

and who have generic attributes in:

teamwork skills,
analysis skills,
problem solving skills,
communications skills,
ability to tackle unfamiliar problems, and the
ability to work independently

Content:

Students will work, under supervision, on a selected research and development project approved by the unit convener.
The project may be directly related to GMP or may be more directly related to chemistry, biochemistry or biotechnology.
Each project will involve a minor literature survey which will form part of the final thesis.
Projects will commonly involve input from relevant industry bodies, including the student’s own work place (where appropriate and possible).
