Module Synopsis
The Independent Research Project is the capstone module of the programme. It provides the opportunity to apply, integrate, and deepen the knowledge, insights, and skills you have learned throughout the programme of study. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate your capacity to work independently on a major project, through real-world issues or a research topic. You will work with your supervisor to research, develop and present the research project for assessment in compliance with the agreed formats prescribed by Work-Based Distance Learning (WBDL) and the Lincoln International Business School.
