Programme content
You will study one 60-credit module.
The module provides an opportunity to address a current business issue, challenge or problem in your organisation (where possible). You will achieve this by conducting an independent work-related project based on critical research and professional enquiry, using primary and/or secondary data, analysis and research methods, resulting in recommendations for future practice.
An alternative research project will be made available if your employer does not wish you to conduct research within your organisation or for students who may be in between employment.
