They will be encouraged to be pro-active in their approach to learning. The continuous assessment will take the form of case studies, reports and presentations. Students will be required to work both independently and as part of groups. Where possible real world examples will be used. Students will also be strongly encouraged to engage with various websites and discussion forums from organisations, research groups and conferences supporting this topic area. Examples include Data Management Association (DAMA), Data Protection Forum, Data Governance & Information Quality Conference, etc.
