Research Project - PICT809
Students enrolled in this unit are expected to research and compose one substantial research project or thesis of 15,000 words on an approved topic. Students will be supervised in all stages of this task by the unit convener, and by PICT staff. All enrolled students will undertake a major research project or thesis, including all the stages from topic selection through to completion. The unit therefore provides students with the opportunity to explore a topic of particular relevance to themselves or their organisation. In so doing they will be encouraged to thoroughly engage with the existing research on their topic, using it as a stepping stone in developing their own interests and key analytical questions. This research relies on utilising secondary sources and does not require original empirical work. Indeed students are not permitted to conduct interviews or other fieldwork which would normally require ethics approval.
