Learning Outcomes
The aim of the long essay is to develop and demonstrate analytical and organisational skills in a particular area. The essay does not necessarily aim at exhaustiveness within its field or topic, nor does it need to incorporate original research, although both elements (ie exhaustiveness and originality) may be apparent in the completed work.
