• This module will be delivered by lectures along with additional reading and study materials provided by the module lecturers. Journal articles provided in advance will enhance acquisition of key knowledge, and this will be developed in class through case study examples, and in-class exercises of an individual and team nature. Guest speakers from industry will be used to put material in context. Please note that the number of hours for planned learning activities and independent student activities will vary from student to student, depending on their capability to absorb and apply concepts and tools, and write up work. A guidance for students is that one credit is a total of 25 to 30 hours of student effort. Thus a 10 credit module can vary in amount of student work between 250 hours and 300 hours.
