Students define and execute a piece of research in finance on a topic of their choice, with direction from an academic supervisor.


Aims:
The aim of the research project is to allow students to define and execute a piece of research in finance on a topic of their choice, with direction from an academic supervisor and with assistance from a doctoral student support supervisor.

Assessable learning outcomes:

  • Successful completion of the research project requires students to define and execute a piece of research in finance.
  • They will be required to seek out and to critically evaluate published literature in a particular field.
  • Students will improve their report-writing skills, learning how to structure their study, and how to place their findings in the wider context.

Additional outcomes:
The self-directed nature of study for this model should encourage students to be resourceful in their search for relevant literature and data, and to manage the various stages involved effectively, leading to timely submission of the finished piece.
