Module Aims
To provide students with a medium through which they may develop and demonstrate business related skills acquired during their studies, but especially those skills associated with research, analysis, evaluation and the presentation of complex material, and applied in an international context.
To encourage students to draw upon, apply and integrate concepts encountered during their course and provide the opportunity to pursue, in depth, a particular area of interest.
Content Summary
The module provides the space for students to explore the way that they interpret and explore a critical enquiry into a chosen subject area.? The ability of students to effectively examine how they can apply a range of theories and models studied in modules is an integral part of the learning and supports the research skills that are a key part of the course as a whole.
The module utilises the Business Clinic to introduce and manage the client project that students will work on.
In preparation for this project, students will complete an introduction to research methods or consultancy project during the induction and experential learning week at the start of level 6.
