Interviews with students
Six undergraduate and two postgraduate students have provided valuable input that
has informed our writing of the Student experience feature of Business Research Methods. We are extremely grateful to them for being willing to share their experiences. OUP would also like to express their gratitude to Emma Bell for conducting and filming the interviews with these students.
Video clips showing the students talking about their research projects are provided on this site. These clips are linked in to the ‘student experience’ boxes throughout the text; each clip is accompanied by page references which take you straight into the book to read more about this aspect of doing a research project.
