Students must have permission from the course organiser in order to be enrolled on this course. Candidates undertake a limited piece of personal research-oriented project work. This will compliment skills and techniques learned in Quantitative Methods in Geography or Qualitative Methods in Geography. It need not involve primary data collection but should involve re-analysis of primary data sources, or a re-evaluation of existing sources. A variety of topics will be introduced from which students can elect a suitable topic.
