CONTENT

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this course is to introduce the learner to conducting research through a specific problem under guidance, culminating in a Master's Thesis.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • At the end of the course, the learner is expected to be able to define a research problem, to design and implement a set of experimental methodologies to solve the problem, to analyze and interpret data collected in the context of existing knowledge, and to communicate their work to target audiences at different levels.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES


1. Develop the ability to use critical, analytical, and reflective thinking and reasoning 5

2. Reflect on social and ethical responsibilities in his/her professional life. 5

3. Gain experience and confidence in the dissemination of project/research outputs 5

4. Work responsibly and creatively as an individual or as a member or leader of a team and in multidisciplinary environments. 5

5. Communicate effectively by oral, written, graphical and technological means and have competency in English. 5

6. Independently reach and acquire information, and develop appreciation of the need for continuously learning and updating. 5
