Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The programme of which this dissertation forms a part is intended to provide an intensive grounding in recent work in the area of mind, language, and embodied cognition. The starting points are philosophical but the subject matter is deeply interdisciplinary, so successful completion of the dissertation will mean that students are able to:
- develop sustained arguments that draw upon work from multiple disciplines, especially philosophy, psychology (including cognitive neuropsychology), and language sciences,
- use the analytical and exegetical skills they have acquired to further the multi-disciplinary discussion of key topics
- be able to communicate their findings to a wide interdisciplinary audience. |
Assessment Information
The recommended word limit for the dissertation is between 8,000 and 10,000 words. For certain projects, it may be necessary for students to write a slightly longer dissertation, and you should consult your supervisor if you feel that this may apply to you. Dissertations longer that 15,000 words will not be considered. |
