This module enables you to undertake an in depth and comprehensive research project into an area of personal interest and provides a project of significant size and depth in order to synthesise the skills and knowledge acquired in the programme. This module will allow you to engage in research design and implementation in a subsequent research project. It provides you with an opportunity to co-ordinate and manage your own learning experience and formulate this within a coherent research project. Where appropriate, you will be encouraged to engage with other units across the university in an interdisciplinary manner. Typically, teaching and learning strategies for this module are based around lectures, seminars and personal tutorials. During the project, you will verbally report your work at specific points and will also have support from a supervisor.
