| Brief Description | 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. It is common practice to submit parts of the dissertation in draft for the supervisor's comments, and such materials 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. |

| Learning Outcomes | i. Knowledge and Understanding Students will use the dissertation as a chance to significantly deepen their knowledge and understanding of a specific area with Religion, Philosophy and Ethics. It may be an extension of work from other modules, or — if supervision is available — work within the area of Religion, Philosophy and Ethics dictated by the interests of the student. ii. Skills The dissertation is designed to enable students to work independently on an approved project of their choice. It is seen as testing the student's ability to deploy relevant concepts and methods, make use of primary resources, develop and/or challenge ideas presented during their programme, handle complex and contradictory arguments in a rigorous manner, and bring skills of analysis and synthesis to bear. |
| Learning and Teaching Activities | Tutors introduce students to dissertation study and guide them in matters of research, presentation and resources. Teaching is mostly through close supervision in tutorials. |
