This module will provide students with the experience of how to apply their skills and knowledge in an empirical investigation of a topic they find interesting. It will allow students to plan the organisation and timing of their work with a high degree of independence and self-motivation.
The aims of this module are:
- To enable students to demonstrate that they can undertake a substantial piece of independent, practical research work.
- To develop critical awareness of the current state of research on a selected topic.
By the end of this module, students will be expected to be able to:
- Formulate a problem relevant to Sports Therapy having critically reviewed relevant literature.
- Design and conduct a piece of empirical research (considering the key methodological issues, risks and ethical issues) into advanced level situations, issues and/or problems.
- Incorporate advanced knowledge and skills from other parts of the degree including theoretical, methodological, analytical, or substantive elements.
- Using available evidence, develop an argument, and write up their material in a coherent, systematic and well-presented dissertation and produce a conference quality poster.
This is predominantly a student-led module. Lectures will take place to provide an overview of the module, ethics and support students in choosing their supervisor and topic. Additional support will be mostly through tutorials.
This is a predominantly non-taught (student led) module so has fewer class contact hours than other modules. It provides students with the opportunity to pursue an independent programme of self-directed study with support from a supervisor.
The student will direct the supervision, tutorial, and formative feedback process: It is their responsibility to contact their supervisor to book tutorials. Tutorials should be arranged across the year and not be left until the last few weeks before the summative submission deadline when supervisors may not be able to accommodate last minute requests. No supervision or feedback will be provided in the last two weeks before the submission date.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.

be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements,
industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist
of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
