The Practical Intervention Project provides you with an opportunity to apply theories, concepts and reflective, practice-based learning to a well-defined work-based project. Underpinned by research methods training and set within an action research frame, you’ll be supervised through the process of producing a high impact project aimed at improving performance in your business. The output is designed to be the culmination of your two years part-time study, and an unequivocal expression of the progress you have made.

This course includes a significant research training component in the form of 20 hours of classroom teaching and 5 hours of individual supervision. The classroom teaching – which comprises a mix of lectures, group work, case studies and discussion – focuses on action research training, set within general research concepts and tools. It is designed to provide a sound underpinning to students’ own Practical Intervention Project report. Students will be expected to identify a work-based problem, project or challenge that will provide a research vehicle for applying concepts, theory and models of good practice. Action research models will be applied to the task of analysing practice, problematizing observed phenomena and applying solutions through a cyclical and iterative approach.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
