Overview
This is a capstone-type unit that you are expected to complete as a culmination of the learnings throughout your course. It provides you with the opportunity to consider a real world problem (that you have identified from within your workplace and prior engagement in the course) and examine the issue from a realistic, scholarly perspective, bringing to bear your research skills and applying your domain knowledge.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Build upon a workplace problem, issue or questions previously identified in the course, to finalise a research project proposal.
- Critically evaluate contemporary literature to establish current knowledge of a a complex problem, issue or questions.
- Critically review and refine the research methodology and methods for gathering data and for addressing the identified problem, issue or question
- Critically interpret project findings, draw conclusions and make recommendations for future work in the area
Content
The content of your project will depend on the topic you choose. Areas of general learning focus on the expectations of scholarly project work which include:
- drawing upon prior work in the course, formulate and communicate your planned research, research project in oral and written formats
- critically analysing and synthesising relevant literature
- identifying a problem/issue/question
- collecting data and analysing the results
- reflecting critically on the project, drawing conclusions and making recommendations
- communicating the project
Learning Approaches
This unit will be offered in a fully online mode. You will be able to manage the content, teaching and learning asynchronously, and at your own pace. You will be supported by an Online Learning Advisor (OLA) who will assist you in the development of the required artefacts for assessment in this unit. You will access online discussion forums so that you can collaborate with peers and OLAs. You will be expected to arrive in this unit with a formed idea of what you would like to consider for your assessment, thus you will be required to engage very quickly with your OLA to consolidate earlier ideas and establish your research project. Building upon prior learning in the course, you will have the opportunity to formalise the real world problem in healthcare that you have considered and wish to examine in this unit from a realistic, scholarly perspective.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will gain feedback in this unit by participating in weekly online discussion forums and through regular contact with your Online Learning Advisor. You will receive feedback on your initial proposal and plan, and summative feedback on your project presentation and completed project. Peer feedback forms part of Assessment 1.
Assessment
Overview
The ability to apply advanced knowledge and skills with a high level of autonomy is a hallmark of postgraduate education at the Masters level. By undertaking a scholarly piece of work, this unit gives you the opportunity to consolidate, extend and apply the skills that you have gained to date in an area that is relevant to your field of study and professional practice, by demonstrating creativity and initiative to analyse, synthesise and develop knowledge.
Assessment task 1 asks you to present your research project proposal, building on the work you have completed in HLQ707, which is a prerequisite to this unit. You are expected to present orally your planned research project and provide and receive feedback on presentations. You will submit a video recording of your research project proposal presentation.
For Assessment task 2, you will complete a scholarly project that demonstrates a critical understanding of a problem/issue/question in Health Management, critically interprets findings, draws conclusions and, as appropriate, makes recommendations for future work in the area. On commencing this unit, you will liaise with the Online Learning Advisor to define the scope, expectations, learning activities and time frame for your project. You will complete a 5000 word draft manuscript. The draft manuscript is a focused piece of scholarly writing that culminates learning and development in Master of Health Management.
As a capstone type unit, the design of assessment tasks as proposed here consolidates critical learning and topic areas completed in PQ84 and enables students to demonstrate such learning throughout the course.

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Presentation of Project Proposal
The proposal presentation provides you with the opportunity to orally present the topic of your project for consideration and review. The presentation will include the key question/s to be posed through the project, the rationale and significance of the research area and identify potential journals for publication.
You will also be required to peer review other students project presentations to provide constructive feedback.
Assessment: Research Paper
The research paper brings together the disciplinary learnings that students have developed throughout their degree. This structured review will synthesise the key literature relevant to your identified research question. It critically analyses findings and makes practical recommendations, as appropriate, for how they may be applied to healthcare contexts.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
