This module provides you with an opportunity to undertake an extended piece of individual research under the supervision of a tutor. Input sessions and workshops will allow you to explore and critically appraise research philosophies, research approaches and research methods. These will also support the development of a research aim and research questions. Within your dissertation, you will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of relevant theoretical models and contemporary literature relevant to your area of study as well as conducting empirical research. You will be required to demonstrate a high level of analytical and critical ability in the application of theoretical frameworks and literature, resulting in the synthesis of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. In terms of PDP you will be expected to develop valuation of your own learning and evaluation of achievement and planning for learning, personal and professional development. The module aims to develop employability skills and to promote and develop the core values of Internationalisation, Environmental Sustainability and Ethical Responsibility depending on the nature of the research undertaken.
