The module aims to give students the opportunity to work in a guided but independent fashion to explore a substantial problem in depth, making practical use of principles, techniques and methodologies acquired elsewhere in the course. It also gives experience of carrying out a large piece of individual work and in producing a dissertation. It finally enhances communication skills, both oral and written.

Students and their supervisors can decide delivery pattern. Some academic supervisors have a group meeting and the other may have one-by one meeting with students. Generative AI will be leveraged to improve the efficiency of interaction, while fostering greater student autonomy and flexibility in learning. The time schedule is slightly different from one individual academic staff to another. Usually there is weekly meeting for all supervisors for his/her students.
