In this subject, you will plan for and undertake an individual research project or, depending on availability, industry placement/project. Under supervision, you will prepare a project proposal, complete a literature and resources review, and research and produce a relevant outcome such as a paper suitable for presentation at a conference or publication in a scholarly journal, or an online project such as a website or social media presence, as determined with your supervisor/s.
