Once students have been allocated to an Advisor, they are under that staff member's guidance throughout the entire process. Guidance is provided as formative feedback but the responsibility for the academic quality of a Dissertation is the student's alone.
Students are required to keep in regular contact with their Advisor.
Advisors will provide approximately 6hrs contact time with students via face to face, telephone/skype meetings, and/or email communications.
The final mark for the Dissertation will be available after the final Board of Examiners in October. Individual summative feedback on the Dissertation will be available usually by the end of October. |
