This course focuses on research techniques and project management methods designed specifically for computing. You will explore fundamental research principles and both qualitative and quantitative research methods, as well as intellectual property, research integrity, and ethics. Additionally, you'll expand your understanding of key agile project methodologies and critically analyse their usability compared to traditional project management approaches.

Throughout the course, you will learn critical analysis of literature, crafting research questions, and writing comprehensive reviews. You'll also develop skills in articulating research objectives, methodologies, and outcomes within proposals. Ethical considerations, comparative analysis of agile versus traditional methods, and practical experience in project planning and success criteria assessment are integral components of the course.
