BU4062 is specifically designed for students who plan to do research of their own
and/or who are interested in contemporary research issues in Business. It is structured
around a series of staff seminars and is designed to add to students' general view
of research in the College of Business, Law and Governance whilst also allowing individual
students to 'specialise' developing detailed awareness and knowledge of contemporary
issues within a specific discipline. The staff seminars will be based on current research
projects, so topics will change each year.
Learning Outcomes
- Have a broad awareness of current research issues in business, including different
topics, methodological approaches, and applications / interpretations of ideas;
- Have gained some discipline-specific knowledge, acquired through the research seminars
and through scholarly journals;
- Have increased 'journal literacy', and more refined oral and written presentation
skills;
- Have some perspective on the way in which discipline-specific research fits into a
broader research agenda;
- Have a good understanding of how to turn an interesting idea, into a research project/proposal.
