<p class="MsoNormal">For the next session (2022-23), in line with the University’s aims, our goal is to return to more normal running of the projects and provide a full and enriching experience of independent work embedded within a research group. I am now
requesting topics for next year’s PH450 Projects. As a default, I will carry over the ones from last year unless notified of any changes (see attached list for reference). The incoming 4<sup>th</sup> year class size is expected to be similar the previous one
so I am looking to maintain the same, or slightly increase, the number of project topics on offer.<o:p></o:p></p>

Unless requested,
I will try to balance project allocation to that no one received no more than 3 project students, with most having 2 or fewer students. If you would like more than 3, then let me know. If there are particular circumstances that significantly impact upon your
ability to take on the expected average number of project students, please discuss with me accommodations that may be able to be made. Newer academic staff will likely be allocated fewer than average students in any case.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Project topics can be shared by more than 1 student, please indicate if your project can do so.

the project, e.g. different samples, different regimes etc.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

The PH450 project can
utilise skills gained during a summer project but research work/results cannot be brought forward. Any such case of a summer student (or similar) wishing to be pre-allocated a project should be discussed with the PH450 Coordinator prior to confirmation of
the project.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">A pre-allocated project requires both student and supervisor to agree on the arrangement, this must be confirmed (by email) to the PH450 Coordinator (i.e. me) by the 31<sup>st</sup>
August 2022 and commits the student to being allocated the agreed upon project. This deadline is strict, any student not pre-allocated a project at this date will go into the General Allocation. It is expected all projects in the project booklet released to
students at the start of September 2022 be available to any student during General Allocation.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Pre-allocated projects not available for General Allocation are not included in the project booklet released at the start of September 2022 so that students do not select an option
that they cannot get.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">A pre-allocated project that can have more than 1 student on it, and are not all taken up in pre-allocation, can be included in the project booklet.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Pre-allocated students cannot start working on their PH450 project until the General Allocation list is released (so to not give an advantage).<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
