Indicative Module Content
This is an individual research project, in conjunction with BS 3161 Workplace Internship, which links knowledge and skills gained from the taught modules to the study and analysis of culinary concepts within an industry specific context. During the pre-internship workshops, students will review a wide range of potential topics, from the creation of new dishes to the analysis of service quality systems. The associated research processes which could be applied to these different topics to produce a project of academic rigour are explored. Students will apply a range of research methods to examine the impact of both internal and external influences on their chosen topic. Data analysis techniques and evaluation of the project findings form the latter focus of the workshops and are further supported by the placement tutors during the final writing stage.
