Research projects must seek to extend human knowledge and understanding. Your objective, therefore, is to discover something which was not previously known. Clearly the extent to which your project actually extends knowledge and understanding will be limited; you are undertaking the project as just a part of an undergraduate course. For example, a recent BAAF student undertook a study of the relative financial impact of the old property rates and the new unified business rate, on businesses of various sizes in one provincial town. The data was easy to gather, as it is public information. The conclusions of the project were not earth-shattering, but they were original and interesting.

You are encouraged to collect financial data and apply statistical methods used in other relevant modules.

6.  Non-standard projects
Such projects could include an almost infinite number of possibilities. This could include such things as:

• Developing a computer model or system to solve a particular real-life problem.

• Developing a learning package covering some area of accounting or business.

• Writing-up and analysing a case study, ie a real life example of some aspect of accounting and/or business.

• Producing a video film for use as a learning aid.

It must be emphasised that you are encouraged to propose ideas for non-standard projects. You will tend to find a general willingness among staff to approve such projects.

7. Assessment of the project
The project itself will score marks for such things as:

•   Having clear and attained objectives.

• Clear exposition of the existing state of knowledge in the project area.

• Clear and logical explanation and justification 'of the research method used.

• Clear explanation of the analysis of the data.

• A conclusion which relates directly to its objectives.

• An informative and logical project document.

• Correctly referenced and acknowledged sources.

8. Reasons why the project is a good choice

• There is no exam, it is entirely 'coursework' assessed.

• You can pace the work to fit in with other activities and demands on your time.

• You can be pretty confident that the project will be accepted well before the date for submission because your project tutor will have given you substantial feedback on your progress.

• There is a tendency for students to score more highly on their project than they do on taught courses. This is particularly true of harder working students.

• You are likely to find undertaking a project a more satisfying and interesting process than following a taught module.

• Prospective employers and university admissions officers are likely to view a project as a more valuable option for you to have made.

• Past students have found their project a very useful conversation piece at a job interview.

9. Submission details:
Word limit: 8,000 to 10,000 words plus appendices.
