This module provides students with the opportunity to undertake a substantial, independent project that synthesizes and applies knowledge, skills, and methodologies acquired throughout their programme. Students will engage in practical problem-solving, critical analysis, and design or investigative work, either individually or as part of a multidisciplinary team. The module is designed to: 1)Foster independent and self-directed learning through sustained project work; 2)Develop advanced skills in research, design, analysis, implementation, and evaluation; 3)Strengthen project and time management capabilities in a realistic context; 4)Enhance professional competencies, including teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making; 5)Improve communication skills through the production of a comprehensive project report and oral presentation. Whether completed individually or within a multidisciplinary group, the module ensures each student meets defined learning outcomes and is assessed according to consistent academic standards.
