This advanced subject covers the process of undertaking a research project in an OHSE management topic under supervision. This subject is equivalent to two normal subjects and builds on the materials studied throughout the degree, especially in MGMT617 Research Methods. There are no formal lectures in this subject, however, the student is expected to identify a research project topic, conduct a literature review, develop research questions, select an appropriate methodology, develop a short project proposal, collect data, analyse data, derive suitable findings from the data, and present the project in a research project report.
