MODULE DESCRIPTION*
In the extended project module students carry out an individual research project on a business
topic of their choosing. Projects may for example be the development of a business plan,
research on a particular market/industry/business phenomenon, or a specific managerial
problem. Students will receive support in the form of lectures and individual 1:1 meetings with
allocated project supervisors. Support focuses on the following critical phases of the research
process:
Defining the scope of the project.
The survey of the academic and practitioner literature to identify the existing ‘state of the art’
in a topic area.
The research design and the development of a strategy for data collection and analysis.
The collection of primary and secondary data.
The analysis of collected data and the formulation of conclusions/actionable
recommendations.
The extended project not only provides an opportunity to work on a topic that interests the
student, but it also allows the student to showcase what she/he has learned at UCL in the
context of a project that is of practical relevance to potential employers. Therefore, students
are recommended to choose a topic with an eye on their future career plans.
The MSIN0067 module also includes the Year 2 How to Change the World (HtCtW) group
activity, an immersive, two-week experience which brings together interdisciplinary teams of
students from across engineering, computer science, and management departments and
exposes them to complex global challenges outlined within the UN Sustainable Development
Goals, faced by today’s societies. Throughout this period, you will engage with external
experts from policy, industry and the third sector, and draw upon different expertise,
knowledge, and skills to provide socially and culturally relevant solutions.

MODULE CATALOGUE
UCL’s Module Catalogue is a resource for both staff and students and provides summary
information on all the modules running at the University during the academic year. The 2025-
2026 Module Catalogue can be found here
MODULE LEADER & CONTACT INFORMATION
Contact information for Module Leaders (and any Teaching Assistants if applicable) should be
provided on the module’s Moodle page. Module Leaders and Teaching Assistants may also
provide details of any Office Hours they may offer or their other preferred methods of contact.
ASSESSMENT*
Assessment is integral to learning and teaching; it must be used as a method of developing
students’ knowledge and understanding, as well as measuring attainment. Assessment
tasks must enable students to demonstrate the extent to which they have attained or
exceeded the intended learning outcomes.
All modules have an approved format, duration, and/or length of their assessment(s). Modules
may also sometimes be provided at different FHEQ levels, and as such should have
differentiated assessment patterns for each FHEQ level they offer (even if all levels are taught
together).
The approved assessment(s) for this module are;
Assessment Description Assessment Type % Weighting
How to Change the World Group project 10
Dissertation (Consultancy,
Enterprise or Dissertation Project)
10,000w
RN03 – Dissertation 90
The mark scheme used for this module is Numeric. Deadlines for specific assignments will
be provided by the Module Lead, and will also be listed on the relevant Moodle page.
TIMETABLE*
2025/26
Module Handbook 25/26
The timetable for this module, and any others can be accessed via the UCL online timetable
here
The online timetable should be referred to regularly throughout the teaching period as the
location of lecture/seminars (or other teaching) may be subject to change. Personal timetables
can be accessed via the same link (requires log in). This will also provide details of any
seminar or sub-groups to which a student may be allocated, if applicable.

CONNECTED LEARNING
All students are expected to play an active role in their own learning. The more you put into
your studies by engaging with the readings and preparatory materials, the more you will take
away from the module. Individual contributions to the classroom environment will form an
important part of your programme experience. In recognition of this, you are encouraged to
play an active role in class, by making appropriate contributions, answering questions and
asking questions yourself. There are two important principles behind this:
To facilitate an environment whereby students can share relevant thoughts, insights
and experiences which advance discussions and the general learning in class.
To assist in the development of your skills in being able to ‘think on your feet’, develop
a succinct argument as well as learning how to challenge peers in a constructive way.
Such skills will serve you well throughout your career.
High-quality contributions are meaningful, thoughtful, relevant remarks or questions that
enhance everyone’s understanding of the case or concepts discussed, and do not have to be
“correct”. In fact, seemingly erroneous comments can be highly valuable as well. If by nature
you are a quiet person and would like to be called upon in class, please let us know and we
will help draw you into the class discussions.

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Students are also expected to follow UCL’s Code of Conduct for Students, which is updated
annually and can be found in the UCL Academic Manual . The UCL Code of Conduct reminds
students that they are expected to be
Punctual for classes, labs, seminars and other appointments and if absent or delayed
for an activity where you are expected to attend to advise the appropriate person(s)
Aware of the advice and assistance available on academic and other matters from
sources such as Personal, Programme Directors and Departmental Tutors.
Seeking help for yourself when you need it.
Students should also complete any required exercises, pre-reading or other additional tasks
prior to each session, so that you arrive ready to engage with the lesson objectives and
learning outcomes, and your peers.
