About this Unit
This year long unit will involve the student, under direction from a supervisor or supervisors nominated from within the College, University or external professional/clinical sources, undertaking a research project. Utilising the skills gained in previous units, and by exploring, extending and consolidating their understanding of an area of knowledge, the student will be in a position to contribute to the corpus of knowledge of the profession. Time constraints dictate that the size of the project must be limited, however the student should identify the research question, undertake a literature review, collect data, and evaluate that data (the data gathering and analysis is expected to be modified or truncated due to time constraints), and discuss the results, making conclusions as appropriate.
