PROJECT
Title - The Oxford Brookes University Research and Analysis Project (RAP)
The Oxford Brookes University Research and Analysis Project (RAP) is the final component of the Oxford Brookes University BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree. I have already demonstrated undergraduate level abilities bypassing the ACCA exams and this RAP provides me with the opportunity to demonstrate the remaining graduate-level attributes necessary for the award of the BSc degree. In particular, submitted RAP must be my own work and my research must have been undertaken specifically for the RAP.
The Research and Analysis Project related to a single organisation consists of two separate documents. A 7,500-word Research Report (RR) and a 2,000-word Skills and Learning Statement (SLS). It also required to give a presentation on the project to my Mentor and to submit the accompanying slides used for my presentation with my RAP.
Presentation
Title - Presentation Slides A REVIEW OF THE MARKETING STRATEGY OF NOKIA AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS
The fifteen-minute presentation should be supported by 10-20 slides. The slides should be designed to support the verbal presentation and should summarise the findings and conclusions of my research. My communication skills have developed greatly through the preparation and delivery of a presentation to my Mentor. I was required to submit to Oxford Brookes University a copy of the PowerPoint presentation that I have used in my presentation to my Mentor as evidence of skills development.
Research Report
Title - Research Report (RR)
The Research Report (RR) Conduct an investigation and write a report of at most 7,500 words, which addresses one of the 20 topics offered by Oxford Brookes Business School. Summary of Research Report (RR) requirement follows:

Skill and Learning Statement
Title - Skills and Learning Statement (SLS)
The Skills and Learning Statement (SLS) The Skills and Learning Statement (SLS) is the opportunity to demonstrate that I have developed the key 'graduate' skills of self-reflection and communication. It required to provide evidence of self-reflection by answering a number of questions. To pass the Skills and Learning Statement I had to show my ability to reflect on judgments that I have made or actions that I have taken during my project work. I also had to provide evidence that I recognise my own strengths and weaknesses.
