At the very end of their degree, final year PPE students get the chance to conduct their own individual research project on a PPE topic of their own choosing. Students work independently, but benefit from guidance by a faculty supervisor, as well as peer feedback. The project culminates in the production of an academic paper, and a poster presentation of the students’ research, giving them a real flavour of the process of academic research.
