Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| The dissertation is an extended piece of original research, the subject of which may be chosen (with advice) from within any field relating to the programme as a whole. Students acquire important experience in using research resources, in devising methodologies, and in academic writing. In meeting with their dissertation supervisor (on at least three separate occasions) students also develop confidence in developing their views and in promulgating them. The dissertation provides an excellent training for research at MPhil and PhD level within the Humanities |
