Module abstract
The primary focus of this module is the design and presentation of your proposed research to a critical audience. This module facilitates students to identify pathways that allow for research to be carried out from the concept stage through to having a direct impact on professional practice. Building upon the skills and knowledge acquired through the preceding modules, this module will develop individual’s critical, practical and academic skills to be able to appraise aspects of your own and other’s research projects, and to be able to refine and ultimately deliver them in an academically impactful way. The culmination of this module will be the presentation of your own research proposal which will allow you to engage in an academic conversation as to its suitability and potential to deliver positive impact on your own and other’s professional practice, and will equip you to move to the research project stage.
