Module code EXL 789
Qualification Postgraduate
Faculty Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology
Module content

An advanced literature study on a specialised topic with the aim of solving a particular problem, to be determined in conjunction with a lecturer in the department. The aim of the study is not to merely summarize the contributions in the literature on a specific topic, but to gather, interpret and apply previously recorded knowledge to solve a particular problem.

The aim of the advanced literature study is to give masters students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in a certain field.  The topic of this study can be related, but is not restricted to the area of research for their dissertation.  There must however, be a clear distinction between the outputs of the advanced literature study and that of the dissertation.  The project for this course cannot form a subset of the dissertation.  This course is problem driven and the aim should be to identify a problem, gather, interpret and apply previously recorded knowledge to solve a particular problem.
