FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
This module focuses on conducting a structured literature review on a specific topic in Quantum Technologies. Students will be provided with a selection of key reference materials, such as research papers, review articles, and theses, to establish a foundation in the chosen area. They will then independently gather additional relevant literature, critically analyse the existing body of work, and synthesise their findings into a coherent review. As part of this process, students will learn how to use reference management software, such as Zotero, to organise citations efficiently and enhance their research workflow.
