This course is flexible to support learning in a variety of educational and practical research contexts: either on campus or in industry. You can begin this programme at any time of the academic year, as agreed with your supervisor. There is a period of induction with a project supervisor where you will complete a learning plan and assess your research training development needs. At the end of the third month (full-time) or sixth month (part-time) you will submit a report which will enable your supervisor to offer formative feedback on your writing skills, progress to date and ability to synthesise information.
