| Brief Description | The dissertation is a piece of work independently conceived and produced by the student, with a maximum length of 10,000 words. The dissertation is weighted as a double module, and is therefore reckoned to involve around 300 hours of work. Students thus have the chance to study a topic of their own choice over the whole of the academic year. |
| Indicative Syllabus | Each student may expect up to seven and a half hours of supervision throughout the whole course of the dissertation. The nature of the supervision varies widely according to the kind of project undertaken and the student's habits of work, but most supervisors will expect to see students regularly and see evidence of their progress. Students will be expected to submit parts of the dissertation in draft for the supervisor's comments, since such feedback often give the best basis for subsequent discussion. Although supervisors will often give advice on reading, the responsibility for drawing up a bibliography rests with the student. |
