| Summary | This course covers and assesses the initial phase of a Masters research project. The project topic is defined and the student will then be expected to perform an initial literature review. The student should also carry out preliminary project tasks in preparation for the main phase of the project itself. Finally the student should also outline a proper programme of work for the main project, addressing any potential risks or pitfalls. The work carried out in this course will be written up in the form of an interim report, which will be submitted at the end of the course. |
