PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

CQX7004 Research Project (7 Credits)

The Research Project for MM programme introduces students to
research, thereby providing an opportunity 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 as well as coherently.

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

Students are required to register 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).

The research project will be graded using the rubric adopted by
the UMBS. Upon submission and examination, the students revise the
report in accordance with the internal examiner's and supervisor's
comments and suggestions.
