This module offers students the opportunity to undertake an extended work-based placement at an employer. During this placement the student will work on a project on an area or issue defined by the employer as a priority for their organisation. The project will give the student the opportunity to utilise and develop the knowledge and skills developed earlier in her/his master's course, applying them in a work-based environment and leading to the production of a substantive project report that will both meet the University's academic requirements for a master's level project and support the placement provider in addressing the area/issue they identified at the start of the project.
Students are expected to meet with employers in the AU Term to identify the subject of their project. They will be involved in the work-based placement and development of the related project during the summer term. The duration of the period spent on placement will be for up to 12 weeks. The students will be assessed based on their written work-based projects which would be 15.000 words in length.
