Research Project

You have the option of studying 5 specialised electives in term three to give them a breadth of subject matter. Alternatively, if you would like to study one particular area of interest in depth they have the option of taking 2 electives and completing a research project, which in some cases may be completed in partnership with a sponsoring organisation.

The project will be of approximately 8,000 words. This offers an opportunity to specialise in a contemporary finance topic related to students’ future careers. The project should be based on independent research either in the context of a single organisation or using third-party sources.

You are encouraged from the start of the course to think about a topic for their project. A member of academic staff supervises the project, and the student may choose whom they would like to work with. The project must be submitted by the end of July. Company sponsored projects are encouraged and a number of such projects may be available.

Many students use this opportunity to do a project with a company they might want to work for. This gets their foot in the door and can lead to permanent employment post programme, whilst earning course credit. Cass employs someone full-time to coordinate projects with companies and students.
