This subject focuses on the common challenges of designing a research project at PhD level. These include framing research questions in the context of the existing research literature, selecting and developing an appropriate and refined research strategy, and clarifying the stages of a research project. These are all elements required at Confirmation, and the intensive is intended to accelerate students’ preparation toward that goal. The subject will be collaboratively taught to reflect the diversity of approaches to research across the many disciplines in the faculty.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- Have an enhanced awareness of the data set that informs their research project, and describe how they will manage that data
- Demonstrate an understanding of the skills and methods needed for successful completion of their research project
- Understand the landscape of policies, resources and supports for successful completion of their research project
- Be able to articulate the potential impact or application of their research and describe their research for an interdisciplinary or general audience
Generic skills
The subjects will contribute, through teaching and discussion with academic staff and peers, to developing skills and capacities including those identified in the University-defined Graduate Attributes for the PhD, in particular:
- The capacity to contextualise research within an international corpus of specialist knowledge
- An advanced ability to engage in critical reflection, synthesis and evaluation of research-based and scholarly literature
