8. Writing a research proposal

We will focus on the final assessment and look at the different aspects of designing a research project and writing a research proposal. It will enable you to reflect on all you have learnt and how to put this into practice to design your own research project. We will discuss your ideas for research questions and think about the different methodologies you could consider. We will review what we have covered in the module, the gaps in knowledge we are left with and how to justify the choices we make.

By the end of this component you will:

- Understand what is expected of you in your final assignment
- Understand the different elements of a research proposal and how they are linked
- Be able to apply the triad of qualitative research: criticality, reflexivity and transparency
