Programme structure

Your course in brief

Year 1

Year 1 students should be introduced to the academic literacies required to perform successfully in higher education. In this formative year, it is expected that Research Rich Learning will be chiefly concerned with an introduction to research methodologies and knowledge construction, gaining confidence of approaches to research and critical thinking, and with sufficient guidance for students to enable them to engage in well-structured and bounded enquiry based learning.

Year 2

Year 2 students should be provided with bounded, but flexible, negotiated opportunities for greater critical enquiry; during this year students should be given more opportunities to operate as participants in research projects. Students should be encouraged to develop their critical thinking, and take responsibility for their own study, such as by defining their own research projects and literature based reviews.

Year 3

Year 3 students will capitalise on the academic experiences of the previous years, synthesizing their learning and experience through a summative ‘capstone’ assignment which demonstrates autonomous learning, academic rigour, self-directed purpose, and intellectual ambition.
