Abstract
Research-based education is essential to provide cutting-edge content and equip students with the necessary research skills for their future careers. In this practice paper we presented our work of developing and delivering a new module of advanced research projects in a taught Master’s programme to help students develop independent research skills and work collaboratively in a team to conduct thorough scientific investigations. Several important aspects of delivering this module, such as group allocation and project selection, assessments and supervision and scaffolding, are described in detail. The results showed that the quantity and quality of the research output produced by the group work was larger than the sum of the individual contributions.
