Research dissertation
You will undertake a research project and produce a dissertation which is submitted on an assigned date in mid-August.
The dissertation is an independent research project supervised by one or more members of the academic staff. You have considerable freedom to define your own dissertation project — so long as it is a feasible project that one or more staff members have the expertise to supervise. You will meet with the Programme Director and other members of the department to decide on a topic, usually in Semester 2 and you will put together a research proposal as part of the training course.
