Students will identify and evaluate literature, formulate a research question or hypothesis, and plan and design the research study in accordance with ethical requirements. Students will collect and manage data in accordance with ethical principles, and analyse and interpret the data using thematic or statistical analysis as appropriate. Students will evaluate their findings and construct a written body of work as a thesis. The thesis addresses the research question and incorporates the background or introduction to the research, the methodology, results, discussion and conclusions. Students will present their findings to an audience, and reflect upon the challenges of conducting a research study.
