Applied Project

Module description

The dissertation module provides you with the opportunity to independently produce, original and academically rigorous research examining a topic, or task, offered by a company. In the course of the dissertation, you will: develop a project proposal; critically review the relevant literature; collect any appropriate data; undertake applied research and write up the results of your research in the form of a project summary for the client company and a dissertation. While the development and writing of the project and dissertation are largely independent pieces of work, you will have periodic meetings with your academic and company supervisors to discuss your progress.
