Course overview

This course provides advanced education and training in the principles of scientific research and the current state of knowledge and techniques used in the fields of Viticulture and Oenology. Students learn to apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability and responsibility as a practitioner or learner. Each student is expected to carry out a laboratory or industry based research project during the Semester. The project outcomes are to be written up as a thesis using a form similar to that required for publication of research data. Each student will be required to give an introductory seminar and formal presentation of their research at the end of the semester, followed by an oral defence of their findings and conclusions.
