These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

identify and scope a research-worthy, discipline-specific problem, taking into account the important theory, practical application, ethical considerations, and the time and resource constraints applicable to the study

demonstrate an appreciation of the current issues and developed thinking pertaining to the discipline area investigated by producing a literature review which appropriately identifies relevant sources of information

present research proposals and findings at academic forums, and incorporate feedback received into the study

establish the quality and appropriateness of analysis and linkage of findings to the research problem, along with practical and theoretical implications

demonstrate a contribution to the body of knowledge by producing a thesis appropriate to a discipline area.
