1in-depth study of one context (or of a range of contexts) relevant to the field of Information Systems (IS) and understanding of the field of ISX
2through the project you will develop a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of practice in ISX
3analyse information systems in a variety of contexts (social, organisational) using a range of appropriate approaches and methodologiesX
4understand and integrate concepts from a range of academic disciplines contributing to IS (including, but not limited to, IS strategy, organisation behaviour and systems thinking) and context domainsX
5critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Information Systems methodologies and to be able to predict aspects that are likely to lead to failureX
6formulate and test arguments, identify weaknesses and counter arguments. Critically evaluate and reflect upon own workX
7articulate and demonstrate use of methods and concepts in practiceX
8demonstrate the ability think and work originally, to be able to exercise own judgement about the value of informationX
9develop solutions to problems and compare optionsX
10work independently, reflecting on your own actions and thoughts, and making effective use of constructive feedback, plan and schedule workX
11develop solutions to problems and compare optionsX
12solve problems by identifying and analysing issues to determine the optimal practical solutions to improve IS performanceX
13communicate effectively using written and graphical presentations as appropriate, producing detailed critiques and coherent project reportsX
14seek relevant information from appropriate sourcesX
15work independently, reflecting on your own actions and thoughts, and making effective use of constructive feedback, plan and schedule workX
16reflect on your own practice and evaluate practice within the field of IS from a sociotechnical perspectiveX
17Apply professional values and ethics relative to information systemsX
