3.
Clearly present and critically analyse research findings.
4.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Students will be expected to understand the nature of research, the responsibility of the researcher and the role of the supervisor. After an introductory workshop at the start of the programme there will be individual tutorials with subject-specialist staff that will seek to support students with their research projects. Students will be required to present regular written work to their supervisor for discussion as this will enable them to receive formative feedback on their progress throughout the module.
