Short Description

Finish the course by producing a unique research project using techniques learned throughout the year.

The research project can be taken over 3 months, 8 months, or 12 months. Students choosing the shorter pathways may have a substantially higher workload per week.

After completing the research you will be able to:

  • Identify the tasks to be completed, plan a scheme of work and complete the project to a professional standard
  • Assemble and create the necessary analysis, design and development tools
  • Solve the technical problem and evaluate the effectiveness of the solution against quality standards
  • Demonstrate successful completion of tasks in a coherently written dissertation, including a discussion of the research outcomes and future directions
  • Evaluate and critique the project
