Level 3 Year Abroad
I am the coordinator for our Level 3 students who wish to
study abroad in the USA, New Zealand or Australia. Students apply
during their second year. More
information about the program can be found by clicking here
Final Year Maxi Projects
Any topic in the perception or production of human movement would be welcome.
Look at my lab site to see details about current research topics
in the lab. Some projects do get published as conference abstracts
or papers so if you would like to make that your goal then contact
me by January and and we can try to arrange summer funding. (The
Nuffield Foundataion, The Wellcome Trust and The Carnegie
Trust all offer schemes. See your course handbook for details). Below
are some examples of projects students have been involved in for
their maxi that have gone on to be published (students name in bold):
