Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is required before enrolment on this module. While the prior learning is expressed as named NCI module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

Module Content & Assessment
Indicative Content |
Literature Review
The literature review should demonstrate evidence of independent research critically analysing the potential of an application / idea and provide insights into how it can be implemented and evaluated. This may build upon the work conducted in Semester 2 as part of Research in Computing module, but will have to be updated and revised based on feedback from supervisors.
|
Project Specifications
The project specifications describe the research background that includes the research question and definition of research variables.
|
Solution Development
Learners develop a solution that addresses the research question. This may involve the development of an application prototype, the design of an algorithm, the implementation of an innovative service or component of a system.
|
Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation must be conducted by each learner using multiple strategies, example; an algorithm may be benchmarked by performance specific metrics whilst an internet application or mobile application may be evaluated using suitable usability testing techniques. Statistical tools should be used to critically evaluate and assess the experimental research outputs and levels of significance.
|
Conclusion and Future Work
Learners must arrive at a conclusion from their research question as defined within the position paper. A detailed future work section must be included showing the learners understanding of their own research conducted
|
Viva
The viva shall involve a presentation of the research work carried out and a demonstration of the final results to at least two academic examiners. A demonstration of the developed artefact/product will be required.
|
Industry Placement Report
In order to be able to monitor student progress in the FinTech related business environment, students
have also to produce an industry placement report consisting of a qualitative description of the research
designated environment and a description of their activities, as well as monthly progress reports. The
completed report must be signed off by the industry supervisor.
