| Course description |
The course provides the framework of supervision for a substantial, independent research and writing project. The course requires students to execute and write-up an agreed research topic in the area of architecture (history, theory, design, technology and environment or professional practice). The course allows candidates to activate research design, planning and methods skills acquired in course-delivered research training elements of the programme. It gives candidates a opportunity to undertake original and (supervised) independent research. At least one qualified academic member of staff is dedicated to supervising the candidate in this process. Additional academic and other experts may be drawn upon as advisors to support the candidate. |
