Applied Wellbeing Project A is the first of two integrated units. In these units, you will plan and design a research project - a research study, a systematic review, or a scoping review - in an applied positive psychology/wellbeing-related field. For students in the Master of Workplace Wellbeing, the project must be situated within a workplace context. Under the supervision of a qualified Academic supervisor, you will develop a research project proposal. This will involve undertaking (i) a preliminary literature review to identify and support your proposal; and (ii) developing a project plan, including proposed Methods, Data Collection and Analysis sections. As part of the unit, you will also complete a relevant ethics application for a proposed project. In the unit Applied Wellbeing Project B (PSYC20045), which is Stage 2 of the process, following proposal approval, you will undertake your research study, systematic review, or scoping review.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
