Students will select a core topic to investigate through an in-depth research project using appropriate methodology and literature to the study. Students will collate data and interpret findings with reference to the implications to the wider field of coaching and mentoring. Research reports will reflexively consider continuous improvement to research methodology, coaching and mentoring and their own practice.
