Module description

A 10000 word dissertation. Students are required to find a project supervisor in the spring term. The supervision must be approved by the dept. Once the project has been accepted, the student is advised to meet with their supervisor on a regularly basis. The student must undertake a considerable part of the basic research for the project during the summer vacation . When the student returns in the autumn term, they must complete a project summary form. This requires them to provide information about the projects title , the central research question, why it is significant and how it is being approached; research conducted over the summer; main primary and/or secondary source materials being used; and an outline plan indicating the structure of the dissertation.
