| Course description |
This course will provide an opportunity for MMus students to undertake a limited amount of research, under supervision, into a topic of their choice, related to their programme of study and, normally, to the research interests of a member of staff. This might or might not eventually form the basis of part of the MMus dissertation. If not, it will provide the student with the opportunity to undertake rsearch in a different, but probably related, area. |
