Description of module content:

The module aims to provide you with an opportunity to present and prosecute your proposed research and to develop your appreciation of research related - issues - methodological and conceptual - in the context of your own project. It requires participation in a conference setting with other research student peers and staff, and submission of a written piece of work. This module provides an integrative and reflective opportunity for you to draw together your learning across all of the taught components of postgraduate research. The vehicle for this integration is the presentation of a research proposal, or a methodological argument, to a critical academic audience. This presentation should demonstrate how ideas learned in the various taught classes will be applied in your own research.
