The lectures cover theory, terminology, calculations for statistical tests, concepts relating to research methods and the use of SPSS. This module will focus on understanding rationale behind different statistical procedures, discriminating between different types of inference frequently made in psychological research (association and causal claims), understanding and following ethical guidelines to psychological research, running various statistical analyses and reporting results following APA guideline. One of the pre-requisites for PSYC2020, PSYC3003, PSYC3005, PSYC3010 and PSYC3064
The Module will prepare students for the summer Research Project and research based coursework exercises. It will give students a grounding in the research methods and techniques necessary in order for planning and successful execution and completion of the project. The initial phase of the Module involves general research and the review of literature and the development of an understanding of the fields of research relevant to the Programme of Study. This continues with the identification of potential areas of research and discussion about research themes with the Programme Leader. The second phase begins with allocation to and negotiation with potential project supervisors. More detailed research and analysis methods are studied and a Project Plan is then developed. This plan and the concept of the project which will be presented in a poster presentation at the MSc Poster Conference at the end of the semester. The module also teaches students what it is to be a professional practitioner, examining ethical and legal issues around professional practice, as well as commercial, management and legal aspects for developing technologies.
Healthcare professionals should be able to engage with different forms of inquiry (such as research, audit and service evaluation) and understand how these can help inform practice. This module begins by focusing on the reasons we carry out research and other forms of inquiry, how questions arise from practice, and how we attempt to answer them.
This module aims to provide opportunities for students to develop an appreciation of marketing research in theory and practice. There are two broad objectives: (1) to enhance your knowledge of the research process and enable you to be aware of the problems associated with research, and (2) to prepare you to carry out your own research, in most cases your dissertation.
This module will build on learning from the Introduction to Professional Practice module in Year 1, which introduced the principles of evidence-based practice and their foundational role in enhancing professional practice and the delivery of person-centred care. This module will further develop students' knowledge of research methods and evidence-based practice in preparation for the research project module in Year 3.
This module will build on your knowledge and skills from the Research Methods for Midwifery module in year 2. In that module you submitted a proposal for a service evaluation, audit, empirical research or literature review project. You will use the feedback from the assessment of that module to strengthen your proposal and conduct your project. To ensure adequate time to complete the project, this module will commence in semester 2 of year two, with the assessment submitted in year 3. You will develop skills in analysis and synthesising the findings from an inquiry in order to inform best practice. You will also develop your skills of critical appraisal and gain knowledge from a wide range of relevant literature. You will apply this to the design, execution, critique/reflection and recommendations in the reporting of the project. There will be no formal taught sessions as part of the module. You will be supported through a series of supervision seminars, individual supervision and directed/self-directed learning.
This module will build on learning from the IPP module in Year 1, which introduced the principles of evidence-based practice and their foundational role in enhancing professional practice and the delivery of person-centred care. This module will further develop students' knowledge of research methods and evidence-based practice in preparation for the research project module in Year 3.

You will then be supported to plan a project that you will implement in the Research Project module in your third year.
In this module, you will critically evaluate and analyse a variety of literature dealing with contemporary issues in fashion marketing and branding, relevant theories and a range of research methods. You will develop a focused research proposal for your final project work on an important area within contemporary fashion marketing and branding. You will have opportunities to engage with a range of library sources to help you form a clear and focused research purpose while incorporating inclusive, ethical and sustainable practices that will help you to develop your own professional career. Additionally, you will learn to apply personal and professional organisational and self-management attributes associated with effective research and professional practice.
The aims of the module are to: • Raise awareness of a variety of research designs for educational research • Further develop your knowledge of qualitative and quantitative methods; data collection and analysis; and, correctly reporting research findings • Develop your own research proposal from initial research question to research design, data collection and data analysis and methods

The definition of a scientific research project, its planning, execution, recording and reporting, are core skills in science. This module, which involves a full time placement, provides an opportunity for students to develop skills in formulating and conducting independent research while working on a well-defined scientific problem or question.
This module is designed for MSc AMES students across all themes of the programme to supplement their technical modules and, more particularly, the core module FEEG6012 – MSc Research Project to prepare them for professional research planning and management. Through a broad range of lectures and workshops delivered by academics and industrial researchers, students will be exposed to and learn techniques to initiate, plan, lead and manage research projects. The programme will offer a structured and modular approach that will cover the interdisciplinary aspects of research. This will include the formulation of research questions within the wider context of national/international economics, sustainability, ethics, society, and innovation. Students will acquire essential research skills for bibliographic search, scientific writing, technical communication to a range of audiences, including: research bid writing, data analysis, time management, working in teams. Through a combination of lectures, seminars/workshops, and coursework the module will cover the following learning outcomes:
In this module, you will develop a research project proposal, secure University and NHS governance approval, and conduct your research within an NHS setting as part of your final-year placement.
This module provides the opportunity to gain deeper learning of research and your specialist field.
Students will conduct a sustained research-based task, culminating in the production of a substantive academic dissertation
This module is based on a topic chosen by the student, completed under the supervision of a member of staff and culminating in a detailed dissertation. The topic may be musical (historical, analytical, critical) or it may relate music to another art or discipline (e.g. music and architecture, acoustics, psychology of music). Alternatively, the dissertation may take the form of a report on project work. The written submission may be supplemented by live presentation (including musical performance) or by the use of other media, for instance videotape or computer software. All projects are subject to approval by the course coordinator.
As part of the one year MSc Biomedical Sciences by Research programme, all students will undertake two, 18-week research projects in different laboratories. This offers students the opportunity to develop a broad range of research skills and to develop a well-rounded understanding of the field. Students will be offered as much choice as possible for the project, with information on project availability being provided by the module lead. Students will be encouraged to develop a wide range of skills in order to gain as much from the programme as possible. Each student will have a clearly identified supervisor who will provide guidance and support in both the practical and theoretical elements of the project. Students will need to utilise appropriate research techniques to address a clear research question. In addition, students will be expected to develop a good understanding of the published literature within the specific field. Assessment of the project will be through an oral presentation and a written research report. In addition, students will undertake a viva voce on their project as a formative assessment. This will provide the students with experience in the discussion of their research and its wider implications.
