Research Methodology I

This unit aims to cover the main areas in regard to Research Methodology including the terminology, concepts, conventions and research methods where students will be given a practical experience on the systematic procedures by which research is conducted, enabling them to critically identify, describe and formulate conclusions based on hypothesis testing while evaluating a study’s overall validity and accuracy.

Besides introducing the structure of a research environment, students will also be equipped with the cognitive skills and practical knowledge required to define and provide feasible solutions for problems arising in the industry through research and experimentation in order to reduce risks and to improve efficiency.

This unit will also provide a stable base for advanced research techniques and research paper publishing in order to formulate a path towards the doctoral levels.
