execute a previously developed research plan, adapting the plan, if necessary, as the research proceeds, and working within the available time and resource constraints

collect, arrange and critically analyse results at a standard expected for publishable research

critically evaluate research results in the context of existing knowledge

communicate research outcomes through an original thesis and through a short seminar and poster prepared in the style for a typical academic research conference
