Unit description
Taken towards the end of a study programme, and optionally over 2 study periods, Industry Research Project enables students to complete a substantial independently directed research project and present a well documented business report / research paper in a form suitable for presentation to a business board or industry panel demonstrating deep insights into an issue or problem previously identified about a business or industry. Students are strongly encourage to use this unit as an opportunity to undertake real world business related study and investigation with application and relevance to their own workplace or intended work area.
