Research Project (Marketing) Assignment Brief 2017-2018
Welcome to RP 2017-2018
The module provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to manage
your own learning to produce an in-depth study of a marketing topic that is of particular
interest to you. The structure, content and requirements are unique to the Research
Project Marketing department and may be different to other Research Projects across the
NBS platform. Therefore, adhere to the RP Marketing outline and brief rather than other
department within NBS. It helps you to develop and practice valuable skills that are
required in employment where you may often be tasked to investigate something and
produce an academic article showing your findings and recommendations. As part of the
project you will need to produce a proposal, secure ethical approval and get these
agreed by your supervisor to ensure that it meets the aims of the module and more
importantly that it is a project you will be able to complete within the timescale.

2. Agreeing the scope of a task or project and managing expectations are important skills
you will draw on in working life, as are demonstrating your resourcefulness and initiative
in achieving objectives. The successful completion of this module relies on you taking
personal responsibility for the whole process from its inception to completion. Although
there are sessions and supervision provided during the two terms, your supervisors are
there to facilitate rather than teach. This means that you must be proactive in your
approach and take advantage of the opportunities provided to help you with the
completion of the project. Also no matter what the topic or style you have chosen to use
as the basis for your project, we still expect it to be theoretically underpinned so that it
provides the academic rigour expected in the final year of your degree.
Structure & content of your Journal Article
In accordance with academic practice, ensure that your Journal Article is presented in
accordance with the guidelines provided in this document. Please note, the word
