Brief Description The module provides students with the opportunity to focus on a specific area of interest by producing a self-managed, analytical, in-depth evaluation of a relevant issue or topic in the Leisure, Tourism & Hospitality courses.
Indicative Syllabus The dissertation (double) module is interpreted as a piece of sustained independent student work which meets the requirements of the honours component of the QAA Qualifications Framework and the Subject Benchmarking Statements. It provides the student with the opportunity to study a chosen and approved topic in depth and to draw on previous studies, including LSM203 Research Methods. Students will be able to pursue an empirical study, possibly with an applied focus, if they wish, but the opportunity will also be there to undertake a conceptual literature based study (in line with the approach of LSM203)
