    Overview

    A supervised project involving original research and leading to the production of a dissertation.

    We place a lot of emphasis on the project, and typically, students find this to be the most rewarding part the programme. We offer a wide choice of topics in which you have the opportunity to carry out original research. You will work closely with a supervisor, who defines the project and will guide you through all aspects of the project, from the initial background reading to writing the final report.
