MBA Project Modules
Research Methods and Skills
This
20-credit module provides students with the
appropriate foundations for carrying out the
research that will
form the basis of their MBA
Project. Drawing on both qualitative and
quantitative approaches, the module will
encourage students to think about key issues of
method, research design and analysis. In the
Autumn term students acquire the practical and
analytic skills associated with framing research
questions, reviewing academic literature, data
gathering and analysing research findings. In
the Spring term students choose, based on their
project choice, from three specialised pathways
that deal respectively with qualitative methods,
quantitative methods and writing the management
report.
MBA Project
Students will undertake a project in a subject area of
their choosing during the summer term, having
learned the necessary research skills during the
Research Methods and Skills module. Each student
will be assigned a project supervisor with
extensive research experience in the chosen
subject area.
