Coventry University program

Professional Working Paper

Undertake your own research into a disaster management and resilience topic, and learn how to write professional papers.

This program is part of the MSc Disaster Management and Resilience degree offered by Coventry University

Improve on research and professional writing skills in this contemporary module

This module will provide you with the opportunity to undertake your own independent research project. Instead of a traditional dissertation, you’ll write up your research into a professional working paper (journal article). This style and format of writing is widely used in both research and industry roles, meaning this module will give you first-hand experience of both research design and execution and professional writing. Your research can be based on anything related to your wider course.
