This project will enable you to apply literature search skills using both electronic and traditional sources, culminating in a piece of original research that demonstrates your ability to apply what you’ve learned in a practical, real-world context. This programme will be taught at our cutting-edge Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, where enhanced links with businesses will provide you with real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.
