SummaryThe final project, the Capstone Project, provides an opportunity for the MBA candidate to develop the ability to identify, analyse, research and propose a solution to a real problem of significance in business or administration. It can be a project involving contact with practice (for example in a company), a library based project using secondary data, a teaching case study, or a business plan. The standard expected is that the project will show knowledge and understanding of the area that is being researched; some contribution to knowledge is generally required for distinction level.

Learning Outcomes
The Capstone Project provides a final stage of the learning process. It requires mastery of the course work stage and extends this to a higher level of personal investigation, and a greater degree of specialisation. The combination of setting the problem by choosing the topic, deciding on the issues to be considered, and the difficulties of structuring both the research process and the final report make this the most challenging element of the Programme and one which calls on intellectual skills appropriate to many aspects of senior management. Critical argument and the design of solutions involving multiple considerations are requirements for successful completion of the programme.
