K Your own option agreed with the Module Leader. * This could be a fusion of the above.
The topic should be related to "issues and challenges" + other academic theories related to your chosen topic + some real-life examples/ statistics.
"The structure of your work could follow a journal article, business report format or a creative format agreed with the module leader. All these should be underpinned with an academic rigour" (module guide).
"Task 1: Choose a theme from the updated theme list; develop your individual topic and send to the local tutor for review and approval;
the task is an independent task, not related to the other tasks. Word count: 1200 to 2000 words. Cannot exceed 2000 words.Total: 40%. Use 4-5 academic references and 10-15 non-academic references" (source: https://josephho33.blogspot.com/2019/05/updated-info-about-assignment-global.html) My suggested assignment essay structure

Next, pay some attention to the concepts specifically covered in the UK study materials.
Finally, a typical format of an assignment title can be:
