Research Methods – including Research Proposal

The programme begins with Induction and Research Methods webinars, which enable you to finalise your proposal for your project.

Consultancy Project Report

The Consultancy Project Report module provides the opportunity for students to examine an area of particular interest within an appropriate organisational context. The module is designed to make a major contribution to professional and intellectual development, through enabling students to demonstrate their capacity for sustained independent thought, learning and critical reflection.
