LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingQuestions, evidence, and a proposal a supervisor can mark
Online only
You write a question that can be answered, choose evidence you can actually obtain online, and submit a proposal. It is a methods award, not a subject doctorate. FollowLap University teaches this award fully online. The 36 credit hours on this page are the sum of the modules listed in the curriculum, so the transcript and the prospectus describe the same load.
Assessment is coursework on each taught module plus the final project named in the curriculum. Results are recorded as credit hours against each module. Fees are the figures published by FollowLap University for this award; this page does not add a separate tuition claim.
Faculty spotlight
School of Research at FollowLap University supervises the modules and the final project. Supervision is assigned from that school, not from a visiting name shared with another institution.
Study online
Every programme can be completed fully online with zero tuition fees — study from anywhere in the world.

| RMO501 | The Question The Question (RMO501) is a 9-credit course on MSc Research Methods for Online Study, with 90 notional learning hours. By the end, students can apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result, using The Question as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English. Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
