The module is designed to develop students’ awareness, knowledge and skills in how to formulate research questions, develop effective research design, select and implement appropriate research methods. It covers both quantitative and qualitative approaches relevant to science and social research areas. Emphasis is placed on developing students’ ability to apply the most appropriate method to address research questions and understand how to analyse, interpret and present results.
