Course Overview

The research thesis will encourage students to work within organisations to apply their research work to a real-life setting. Part-time students will be expected to apply their research in their place of work so that companies will benefit from the investment made in attending the course.

A significant amount of work will be required by the students through independent learning and self-study. The such study enables students to independently develop their understanding of the module concepts and to complete formative and summative exercises.

The course Programme Director will provide strategic leadership and direction to the course during the taught component of the course. S/he will be available to each student who has specific issues regarding course content and structure. Each student will also be allocated a Supervisory Team (Director of Studies and Second Supervisor) at the outset of the programme. Students are expected to liaise with their Supervisory Team during the taught component and to keep them abreast of progress via regular ‘milestone review meetings.
