Project Based Change

This project-based change dissertation is regarded as the culmination and centrepiece of a masters award pathway and is a large piece of work, based upon a significant and largely independent critical investigation and an evaluation of your chosen project topic. In this module, that topic will ideally be related to your workplace and you will explore the implications of change in an organisation and your role in implementing this change and improving the service delivered. As part of this, you may carry out primary or secondary data collection and analysis, audit as well as undertaking a literature review to support your change. Whichever methods you adopt, the implementation of change and its effects on the organisation will be paramount in your discussion and analysis.

Research Methodology And Methods

This module will enable you to develop an in-depth understanding of research methodology and methods. Academic research often favours a polysyllabic terminology, but often what is behind the terminology is entirely compatible with our ‘everyday’ understanding of the world. You will already have many skills required for research from your employment and prior education. This module will provide you the opportunity to sharpen these skills in the pursuit of an advanced understanding of research methodology and methods. This understanding can then be applied within the Masters Dissertation in particular, but will also be transferable to a breadth of educational and employment settings.

Master's Dissertation

The dissertation module provides an exciting opportunity to apply your skills and understanding to the development of a substantial and distinctive piece of written work. The emphasis is on student-led learning, but you will also be offered excellent support from an experienced supervisor. The dissertation enables you to apply the breadth of research skills necessary for the delivery of a successful project. This includes framing the research problem, building your design, and carrying out the study itself. The dissertation is a hugely rewarding creative process and we look forward to supporting you on your research journey!
