Student research
Hear from some of our students about their research projects.
Sophie, International Marketing MSc
The Trending of Luxury Fashion Within Generation Z
Research question: What are the motives and influences behind Gen Z's luxury fashion consumption?
With a limited number of existing studies surrounding Generation Z's consumption, and being part of this generational cohort myself, this seemed a relevant and prominent research area to delve into. Being able to produce a publishable piece of academic work was a real achievement.
Cameron, Music Production MA
An Analysis of Film Score Production and Composition Traits Implemented Within the Works of Hans Zimmer
Research question: What are the compositional and production traits identifiable within the film scores of Hans Zimmer and are these traits similarly present within the narrative stages of contrasting films?
I come from a classical music background, but I decided to pursue a career in music production at York St John University. This has enabled me to develop modern production skills and 21st century techniques for composition, teaching me to creatively approach all work in a professional and independent manner.
Katherine, Education MA
Reflective Governance for School Improvement
Research question: Can the Principles of Reflective Practice be Used by Governors as a Tool for School Improvement?
I knew from the start of my postgraduate studies that I wanted to explore school governance from an improvement perspective, which was really helpful as I already had a series of ideas about my research question and aims. Once I had completed the methodology module in semester one I had a much better idea about how to proceed with my research.
Panagiotis, MBA

How Does National Culture Shape the Organisational Culture of Pharmacros AG?
Research question: To what extent does the organisational culture affect business performance?
I chose to investigate my father's company in Greece, Pharmacros AG. The organisational culture of a small, large or multinational company operating in Greece is affected by the national culture. It was challenging to research as I had to stay objective and make the first part of the investigation from a distance.
