Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Pose a significant research question relating to regulation or governance;
2. Investigate this question creatively, critically, ethically, and independently, including through sophisticated use of appropriate theory and methodology as appropriate to Regulation or governance, and place these investigations in the context of the relevant intellectual tradition; and
3. Communicate their research and its findings through an appropriate medium, at a level close to publishable quality.

Other Information

The course proceeds through one-on-one mentoring of all stages of the student's project by a supervising academic.

Students may be required to present their work in draft in a seminar to staff and peers. They will be supported to develop their oral and digital research presentation skills because this is an important part of research communication.
