Licentiate Project
Projects A and B

Project "A" is a literature search towards Project "B", and should be written up in approximately 5000 words. This sets the groundwork for the actual project (B). On satisfactory completion of this project a student is awarded an "Advanced Technician's Diploma”.

Project "B" involves the carrying out or supervising of the actual project work. On completion, a thesis of about 10,000 words is submitted.

MF5 projects are usually concerned with a topic associated with the student's employer and undertaken with the employer's agreement. The IMF will respect confidentiality of the project with the employer.

Completion of both Projects A and B enables application to be made for the award of the Licentiate professional qualification!
