A critical part of this course is identifying a suitable topic for you research proposal. This can be arrived at in several ways: • exploring an area you are already interested in or an emerging area of technology like artificial intelligence or virtual reality • considering the application of specific types of IT to an application area you have knowledge of such as healthcare or agriculture • following up on an aspect of IT you found interesting in your course • investigating a topical issue from the news, such as a recent cybersecurity threat or the introduction of electronic health records The list below is of some sample topics and research questions which students have considered in recent semesters. You cannot use these directly – you must come up with your own topic. However they give an indication as to the sort of topic which would be suitable for your research proposal. If you are having problems identifying a topic, or have concerns that your topic may not be suitable, please discuss this with your tutor and/or lecturer.
