The final project will be the delivery of a large piece of work, the Industry Research Project (the equivalent of a traditional MA dissertation). It can be demanding, yet incredibly rewarding. Through Masters-level work and research, you will develop critical thinking skills to approach problems in innovative ways and become an authority in a particular area.
