Undergraduates as interdisciplinary researchers

 

I describe an undergraduate Science programme that is novel in several respects. It is inherently interdisciplinary with each module in the three year (BSc) or four year (MSci) programme based round an interdisciplinary problem from physics chemistry and biology. The programme is taught by problem-based learning with students undertaking guided interdisciplinary research. This brings all aspects of the research process into the undergraduate curriculum. The teaching is provided by a core team of qualified teaching staff with contributions as 'guest lecturers' and project supervisors from around 50 research academics. The article looks at the background to the development of the programme and the lessons learnt for the 'personalised curriculum'.
