This unit of study is a continuation of the same project undertaken in APM6030 Thesis Research. In this unit however, students are expected to devote proportionately more of their study time to completing their research project than during other semesters. The unit is designed to provide students with the experience in planning, conducting, analysing and reporting a major research project in their area of interest. The thesis will be of the same quality as a Master degree by research, but the scope of the research is smaller.
