Thesis And Directed Research Projects
Directed Research Projects (DRP) are guided Master`s thesis or capstone projects that students undertake at CEPT University. Unlike regular thesis projects, DRPs are meant to be part of ongoing research projects in which the guides are themselves engaged. CWAS engages post-graduate students in ongoing activities, providing guidance and funding for such projects. This supports student research and provides them with practical experience in the water and sanitation sector.
