Research and Analysis Project

The Research and Analysis Project (RAP) is the final component of the BSc degree and consists of two separate documents:

  • 6,500 word Research Report (RR)
  • 2,000 word Skills and Learning Statement (SLS)

You are also required to give a presentation on the project to your project mentor.

Project Mentor

If you wish to submit a Research and Analysis Project (RAP) to Oxford Brookes, you must have a Project Mentor. The Project Mentor has two different roles.

  • To support your preparation of your RAP by providing advice and feedback to you at appropriate times during your RAP activities
  • To confirm to Oxford Brookes University that he or she has been your Project Mentor and that your RAP is your own work. Your Project Mentor will certify this on your RAP submission form and Oxford Brookes University will check a sample of Project Mentor certifications

You will have three meetings with your Project Mentor. These meetings provide your Project Mentor with the opportunity to guide your RAP work and provide feedback to you. The meetings also provide you with the opportunity to develop your personal skills including questioning, listening and giving a presentation. You will reflect on this graduate skills development in your Skills and Learning Statement.
