Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The dissertation aims to develop and demonstrate analytical and organisational skills in a particular area, thus giving students an insight to the world of research and scholarship. A dissertation does not necessarily aim at exhaustiveness within its field or topic, nor does it need to incorporate original research, although both elements may be apparant in the completed dissertation.
Assessment Information
A preliminary report, containing a clear proposal and a statement of progress made, is required at the end of the third year. The final assessment takes place at the end of the fourth year with the submission of a 10,000 word dissertation (see IMES Dissertation (part 2)).
