Research project

• Effective leaders, managers, citizens and employees need to be capable of basing their decision-making on information and knowledge derived from research. 

• The aim of this module is to contribute to the research knowledge and skills appropriate for a taught master's programme and relevant for careers in professional or management roles. 

• The participant is required to produce a dissertation, at an advanced level, based on independent research. This should demonstrate an understanding of the philosophy and core principles of research (empirical or non-empirical) and show their competence in the design, execution and reporting of a research-based dissertation. 

• In this way the participant’s ability is developed to carry out subsequent research, independently and to commission, manage and evaluate the research activities of others. 

• Therefore, the knowledge and skills acquired in the module and of producing the project, will contribute to the student's effectiveness throughout her/his career.
