This unit was introduced as part of the Masters thesis moving to 24cpt structure

FEC (2/21) decided that the Minor Thesis should move from 18cpt to 24pt

This unit is a research unit common to FIT Masters coursework degrees. Due to the nature of IT, a wide range of Masters project types can be offered to students. Some project components are of a practical nature and may involve software development and/or experimentation, while other components are of a more theoretical nature.

On completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. design a rigorous Masters level research project and develop project proposal;
2. critically review research literature, research design and reported findings;
3. evaluate and select research methods and techniques of data collection and analysis appropriate to particular research designs, projects and disciplines;
4. conduct ethical research;
5. communicate research findings in written and oral form in research and industry settings.
