Course overview

The short thesis (20,000 words) is intended to provide both meaningful research for the industry, and for DAgEnv 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.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

Plan and execute a substantial applied research project and carry out appropriate hypothesis testing.
Reliably, accurately and efficiently collect research data
Communicate in writing the introduction, aims, methods, results and conclusions of a research project, and discuss these critically in the context of relevant research, through the production of a Level 7 dissertation.

"The biggest skills I've learnt are the transferable skills, such as doing presentations, writing a thesis and how to go about modelling a system."

Jodie Coates, Researcher, McCain Foods
