CAP861 – Capstone Project
About Course
WEEK 3: Research Focus – Additional Resources The Capstone Project course aims to synthesise student learning in a single practical real life project that demonstrates the fulfilment of the programme’s learning outcomes. It also aims to enable a demonstration of business research with a potential real-world outcome. The course objective is to integrate student academic knowledge with experiences beyond the virtual classroom and combine developing knowledge, skills, and personal interests. The project will be conceived, designed, and carried out independently, with support and supervision.
Capstone projects are generally designed to encourage students to think critically, solve challenging problems, and develop skills such as oral communication, public speaking, research skills, media literacy, teamwork, planning, self-sufficiency, or goal setting—i.e., skills that will help prepare them for modern careers, and adult life. The projects are also interdisciplinary and may require students to apply skills or investigate issues across many different subject areas or domains of knowledge. Capstone projects also tend to encourage students to connect their projects to community issues or problems, and to integrate “outside-of-school” learning experiences, including activities such as interviews, scientific observations, or internships.
