Effective leaders, managers, citizens and employees must be capable of basing their decision-making on information and knowledge derived from research. This module aims to contribute to the research knowledge and skills appropriate for a taught master’s programme and relevant for careers in professional or management roles. The participant is required to produce a dissertation, at an advanced level, based on independent research. This should demonstrate an understanding of the philosophy and core principles of research (empirical or non-empirical) and show their competence in the design, execution and reporting of a research-based dissertation. In this way, the participant’s ability is developed to carry out subsequent research, independently and to commission, manage and evaluate the research activities of others. Therefore, the knowledge and skills acquired in the module and in producing the project will contribute to the student’s effectiveness throughout her/his career.
