Module overview

This module enables you to build on your research skills in preparation for running your own research in part 3. Building on the research skills learnt in part 1, you will work in small groups to first refine a broad research question into a testable and focussed question. You will then design and plan a field data collection campaign, with responsibility for all logistic organisation as well as ensuring the data collected enables you to address the research question. Finally, whilst on our residential field course, you will carry out the data collection before presenting your findings as a poster to the rest of the group. After working through this process, you will reflect on the challenges you faced, successes you achieved, and how you can put this learning into practice when working on your dissertation.
