Research Studies Specialisation

The Research Studies specialisation is designed for students wishing to proceed to higher degree in research.

It includes specialty units in Research Philosophy and Methodology and a 20 credit point unit Advanced Thesis Preparation, in addition to the core unit of Methods of Researching. This helps you understand how to identify a research problem, critically evaluate the literature and prepare a research proposal. It allows you to become familiar with the requirements of thesis writing from an early stage and develops an appreciation for ethical issues in research in higher degrees.
