• Find out about the different types of research assignment, learn how to choose an appropriate subject and manage your project effectively;
• Learn how to conduct a literature search and review, formulate your hypothesis, create effective questionnaires, manage research interviews and analyse your data;
• Guidance on writing up each stage of your research, from the opening section to your conclusions and recommendations.
