LB5235 - Practical or Research Project
Credit points: | 03 |
Year: | 2015 |
Student Contribution Band: | Band 3 |
Administered by: | College of Business, Law & Governance |
This subject combines theoretical material covered in the MBA program and applies it directly in the workplace. A focus on work integrated learning is used as a platform from which to produce a substantive piece of applied research-based work. The aim is to integrate work experience flexibly into a research report/dissertation. One option is for students who are already employed to develop an independent research project. They are required to negotiate with their employer and prepare a workplace relevant project proposal and research report/dissertation. Students who have no current employer may identify a suitable work-based applied research project through a centralized collaboration between faculty and industry-based partners. This also includes community-based organizations. Alternatively, students may opt to fully integrate work and learning through a professional internship in a relevant, approved industry workplace using the same pathway as above (Brisbane only). Assessment items include the production of an applied research proposal and final report/dissertation. These options need to be approved by the subject coordinator/lecturer.
Learning Outcomes
- apply discipline- specific learning outcomes to the world of work;
- apply high level personal skill, autonomy and accountability in research planning, execution, communication of results;
- demonstrate a capacity for personal reflection and self-development in relation to professional business learning and practice.
