Unit content

Students select an appropriate project topic in consultation with academic supervisor, and form relationships with an industry client. Students will normally work in teams of four or five agree on a formal brief and be required to submit a proposal and work-plan to undertake a business project. Students will be required to use an actual firm or organisation wherever possible. In essence, the contract will require students to undertake appropriate activities and prepare a business report which should be of the quality and extent one would expect from a professional firm for the same number of person-hours input. Students will be required to produce an interim report for assessment at the mid-point of the study to discuss issues and address any changes in the strategic direction of the project. Students will also be required to submit a final report for assessment and present their findings in a formal presentation. Industry clients and community members who have an interest in, or who have contributed to the project will be invited to attend the presentation. An oral examination will take place following the presentations and final submission of the report.
