This course centres on the execution of that plan, through to the production of a c.15,000 word dissertation describing the project and the delivery of a short presentation outlining its important features. The topic of the project must be agreed with the Programme Director, but may be chosen with the student's personal interests in mind, provided that it constitutes original work conducted solely by the student, in accordance with University regulations.
