Research Project (30 credits)

In this module you will undertake a research project presenting your results in both written and oral forms. Your project will involve a significant piece of independent research exploring the forefront of your programme discipline. The module is designed to give you flexibility, enabling you to explore a work-based problem or one that is driven by your own research experience and interests. You will implement an artefact that involves practical activities related to your area of interest, such as implementing software, creating strategies and policies or analysing datasets to provide insights. You will execute your research project from inception to final evaluation, incorporating reflection and dissemination. You will consider and address the professional, ethical, legal and social issues related to your project. You will apply your expertise, project management and practical skills within your particular domain, demonstrating critical and innovative thinking and problem solving within a research context.
