It allows students to concentrate on management phenomena that are of particular interest to them and it draws upon a range of different aspects of the taught programme. It also gives an opportunity for students to work independently with individual supervision. The course equips students with essential key research and writing skills and supports in developing their MSc thesis based on detailed feedback from the course leader and peers.
