Rationale
The ability to apply theories and content is a crucial component of any area of study within the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts. It is particularly important that students are able to identify research and professional problems, resolve them in a methodical and ethical manner, and reflect critically on the process. This course enables students to develop advanced skills within the area of their disciplinary major, in close consultation with a designated supervisor.
Synopsis
This course enables students to enhance and diversify an area of specialist studies or acquire professional experience, through independent learning and/or work placement. The course builds on theory and practice taught previously in students' chosen major. The course is flexible in terms of the variety of ways in which students may successfully complete assessment. To complete this course however, students will be required to devise a special research project or complete a work placement. Students will demonstrate advanced scholarship through the submission of professional reports or an extended research essay.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should have:
- knowledge of the major themes and theoretical issues in their chosen area of study;
- an ability to comprehend specialist literature and to synthesise this in rational arguments;
- demonstrated academic and professional literacy at an advanced level by carrying out appropriate and relevant research independently;
- employed advanced ethical research and enquiry skills in the consistent application of norms and practices that underpin academic and professional integrity;
- advanced level written communication skills appropriate to the discipline and profession;
- demonstrated advanced level management, planning and organisational skills by planning and responding to feedback;
- demonstrated cultural empathy in a critical and reflective manner;
- shown creativity and initiative in response to professional and academic problems.
