What do students think?
"I like my supervisor's teaching style. He explained everything in detail and I can follow him very easily. I learned a lot in each single class"
Leah completed a Life Science research essay project in spring 2021. She is now studying at Imperial College London.

The Development of Your Research Essay
At the time of registration, you may only have a general interest in the research areas. During the first 2-3 weeks of the course, you will be able to narrow down to a specific area of interest. Halfway through the course, you will have reviewed a range of journals and decided upon your research topic. Applying all the skills you will acquire from the seminars and personalised knowledge guidance from the supervisions, you will complete your research essay by the 11th week. You will spend your final week preparing for your presentation.
