This course comprises a supervised research project pertinent to the broad domain of sustainable development in the built environment. Students may propose their own research project, or organise a topic in consultation with the course convener. A research topic may extend to areas of interest in closely related disciplines if suitable arrangements can be made for supervision. The objectives, research questions and methodology should be well resolved prior to proceeding with the other aspects of the research. The outcomes should demonstrate advanced understanding of the selected topic and highly developed communication skills
