PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

CQX7004 Research Project (7 Credits)

The Research Project for MBA programme introduces students to
research, thereby allowing them to conduct in-depth research in their
area of concentration. The research report should demonstrate the
students’ ability to carry out research and report their findings
accurately and coherently.

This research component is in partial fulfilment of the requirements for
the MBA degree at UMGSB. MBA students must register, complete
and pass the Research Project before the degree can be awarded.

Students are required to obtain a Pass (Grade B and above) in
CQX7001 Research Methodology before registering for the
CQX7004 Research Project. The timeframe for students to complete
the Research Project is two (2) consecutive semesters, applicable
for normal and special semesters. If students fail to complete in
two (2) consecutive semesters, they will obtain an F grade, which
requires them to repeat the course for another two (2)
consecutive semesters and pay the full fees for the course.

The minimum number of words is 15,000 and the maximum number of
words is 30,000 (footnotes, references, appendixes, tables and figures
are excluded). The evaluation of the Research Project report consists
of a written report (80%) and an oral presentation (20%).

The examiners for the Research Project comprised of:
i. Supervisor (60% of the assessments) and

ii. Internal Examiner (40% of the assessments).
Grading of the Research Project is subject to the Rubric adopted by
UMGSB. Upon submission and examination, the students will have to
make corrections to the report based on the comments and
recommendations of the internal examiner and supervisor.
