Program Curriculum
We continually review and enhance our curriculum to ensure we are delivering the best possible learning experience, and to make sure that the subject knowledge and transferable skills you develop will prepare you for your future. The University will make every reasonable effort to offer programmes and modules as advertised. In some cases, changes may be necessary and may result in new modules or some modules and combinations being unavailable, for example as a result of student feedback, timetabling, Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies' (PSRB) requirements, staff changes and new research. Not all optional modules are available every year.
Core

The dissertation forms a third of the MRes degree and takes around four months to complete. The topic selected should build on the review essay(s).
You will develop your skills in conducting a research-based project and disseminating your findings through a poster and a presentation. The syllabus of the module will be specific to you and decided in agreement with your supervisors.
You will work on a small-scale project that can be completed and presented within the term. You should work with various online and written resources to learn the required skills that you had not acquired before, but need for your studies. These relevant skills will depend on the projects you are conducting.
Depending on your specific project, some examples of the skills you might acquire include:
- use of LaTeX and BibTeX
- advanced spreadsheet modelling
- statistical analysis using various tools
- computer programming
- data visualisation.
This module will introduce you to research design in business and management. It emphasises the role of different research designs and strategies in acquiring knowledge about management, as well as how to develop meaningful research. The module serves as a foundation for understanding and evaluating the different types of research, while also providing an opportunity for you to reflect on these concepts in relation to your own research.
