The Business Research Methodology module will enable the learner to gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature and importance of research within the business field. Learners will assess contemporary issues, ethics, and best practices in business research, ensuring their approach is both current and ethically sound. The module equips learners with the skills to apply appropriate research techniques to academic issues, manage a research project from the initial brief through to the oral presentation of findings, and effectively utilise research sources, business databases, and Market Information Systems.

Findings and Conclusions
Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board Meeting and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.
The aims are to enable learners will develop the ability to analyse and evaluate information pertinent to specific business issues, fostering a robust capability to address complex business challenges through methodical research.
