The 30-credit weighted course unit on Research Skills and Professional Issues, as well as covering workplace skills issues arising in a professional career, acts as a foundation for your Research Project and you will undertake the initial part of your project as part of this course unit.
The course unit covers various aspects of research skills, including the process of undertaking research, managing a research project, conduct during your MSc project, preparation for dissertation writing and the skills associated with professional and research writing.
In addition, you will have regular meetings with your project supervisor and begin preliminary work on your project during the course of the second Semester.
