Description: The final-year Dissertation module allows students to study in-depth and at length a topic of their own choosing, under the personal supervision of an academic. Students begin to formulate their research focus before the end of their second year and undertake formative preparatory work during the summer vacation. In-year assessment involves a Research Proposal, Presentation, and 10,000-word dissertation. Support is provided through personal supervision and training workshops, but the emphasis is predominantly on students' individual research.
Assessment: Item 1: 10% Research Proposal (1000 words) Item 2: 5% Presentation Item 3: 85% Dissertation (10,000 words) Level: 6
