Most MSc students at Cranfield will complete an Individual Research Project (IRP) in which they undertake original research in a relevant industrial or research area and write a thesis following the standard IMRAD-model (Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion).
This aim of this support course is to provide students a practical starting point to the writing of their thesis by exploring the requirements and key linguistic & structural considerations of each main chapter. This course is divided into five sessions: (1) Introduction (2) Literature Review (3) Method (4) Results & Discussion (5) Conclusion & Abstract.

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:
