Course overview
This course aims to provide essential training in research skills, both as a foundation for further research work and as an important skill for use in professional practice. Students follow a series of steps to plan and design a small-scale research project, considering appropriate scope, limitations, depth, and contribution. The course introduces students to various research skills, methods and methodologies. During this course students develop a research topic, from an initial idea, through a literature review to a formal research proposal. The assessable components of the course are based on milestones researchers encounter in the development of a research project.
