- This unit is assessed by a Pearson-set assignment. Students will choose their own

project based on a theme provided by Pearson (this will change annually).

- The aim of this unit is to offer students the opportunity to engage in sustained

research in a specific field of study. The unit enables students to demonstrate the

capacity and ability to identify a research theme, to develop research aims,

objectives and outcomes, and to present the outcomes of such research in both

written and verbal formats.
