Building on the Research skills and Professional Development module, you are required to revisit key areas of your research project in order to enhance your literature review and research design. You will then progress to the data collection and analysis stage of your project and will receive formative feedback on drafts of your chapters and the application to your research design. A practical workshop will focus on the requirements of the research project, the process of effective critical thinking/reflection, reading and writing and a revision of the key elements of the research process.
