This year-long independent research project is the culmination of students’ study in the field of education. It provides students with an opportunity to synthesize and evaluate their learning by demonstrating their knowledge of the education field, their research skills, as well as their ability to reflect on practices in education or teaching through research. By the end of the final academic year, the student is required to write up a project report of about 7,000 to 10,000 words in English.
