Skills you will develop:

Research, referencing, comparison/analysis, reflection and presentation skills are all important when it comes to university level study. Much of your time will be spent doing your own research as well as doing a range of learning and assessment activities like giving presentations, writing essays or reports and contributing to group projects.  The independent study project is a great way to develop these skills and you can write about what you learned as part of your UCAS application, demonstrating your ability to undertake independent work and show your level of interest in the subject you choose. 

Due: 24th November 2025

How to submit: Email your project to brookesengage@brookes.ac.uk
