Course overview
The main focus of the work should be the review and analysis of existing data from the participant's workplace.
The short thesis (20,000 words) is intended to provide both meaningful research for the industry, and for DAg candidates, a solid foundation for the longer Part II thesis and this should be considered in terms of the ultimate aim of embedding research within the place of work and providing direct and effective knowledge exchange of benefit to the company.
Completing this course results in a postgraduate qualification. See Our Qualifications for more information.
