The work-based research project course allows doctoral candidates to implement their work-based research projects in accordance with their successfully assessed work-based research project proposals (Refer WRP9001). Students are required to implement their work-based projects and initiate the associated research methodology as stipulated in their proposal and ethics approval. Recurring enrolment in the course until completion of a final dissertation for examination is required. Candidates are supported and their progress assessed by an appointed principal supervisor who will submit biannual progress reports to the program director.

Doctoral candidates undertaking their work-based research project should enrol in this course for each semester of their candidature. This will normally be for a total of ten semesters or until the candidate is ready to finalise and submit their final dissertation in agreement with their supervisor. The candidate will combine work and study, by investigating, analyzing, assessing and developing possible improvements or innovations to some agreed aspect(s) (process(es), procedure(s) or product(s)) at the student's workplace. With the help and support of an supervisor, it is expected that the student will study appropriate literature and other resources, research methodology and undertake other activities, as in the student's approved work-based research project proposal. The student must demonstrate a capability of successfully undertaking self-managed and/or collaborative research and project development culminating in providing a report of their progress at the completion of each study period.

On successful completion of this course students should have:

1. developed and demonstrated a commitment to lifelong education, providence and diversity in fulfilling their own lives, organisational aims and those of others;
2. cognitive and critical thinking skills that demonstrate doctoral levels in the application of knowledge and skills required to generate original knowledge and make a substantial contribution to their area of professional practice through integrating empirical, methodological and theoretical knowledge that engages current work-based issues and contributes to their practice as a professional;
3. advanced knowledge of research philosophies, principles and relevant methodologies appropriate in the application of work-based research projects including the skills and techniques of conducting research using appropriate technological tools;
4. the ability to take into account complex, unpredictable, specialised work contexts requiring innovative approaches, which involve exploring current limits of knowledge and, in particular, interdisciplinary approaches and understanding;
5. demonstrate communication and collaborative skills to explain and present a complex investigation of originality for external examination against international standards for dissemination amongst peers and the community both nationally and internationally.
