About this Unit
The aim of this unit is to further develop the student's research and problem solving skills. The student is required to implement the research plan, complete a substantive piece of research in the relevant disciplinary field and to communicate the results of that work to an interested and technically literate audience. The thesis is expected to be at a high professional standard. The thesis topic and structure will vary according to the area of interest of the student and the expertise of the supervisor. Throughout this unit, regular planned consultations between the student and supervisor will occur. Students are expected to work to a schedule devised in consultation with their supervisor. The schedule will include set dates for the presentation of draft chapters for review by the supervisor(s).
