The National Qualifications Framework descriptors for postgraduate study stress the importance of research and scholarship leading to the dissemination of new knowledge in the field. In this module, students can choose one of the following options: (i) to carry out traditional educational research leading to a dissertation; (ii) to write two academic papers of publishable quality; or (iii) to design an educational product. In all cases, the total written submission must not exceed 15,000 words in length and will relate to either educational empirical research, educational theory generation or educational product design. Following an acceptable project proposal, a supervisory team will be appointed to oversee its completion.
