Learning Outcomes

- To select and apply relevant theoretical and methodological approaches in their critical evaluation of major conceptual models and to demonstrate mastery of relevant technical terminology and research methods
- To assess and synthesise primary and secondary sources and to engage critically with these sources, showing awareness of nuance and accommodating ambiguities
- To construct coherent arguments which engage effectively with scholarly debates arising from the study of French regionalism and regional policy and to present them with a high level of clarity in both oral and written form
- To demonstrate autonomy and initiative in their activities, carry out independent research under the guidance of the tutor, and to show awareness of their own and others' roles and responsibilities as part of a team
