Modules

This module consists in developing the theme and outline for the dissertation itself (module HUMPP13). This may include a detailed outline of the proposed line(s) of argument, a literature review, or an extended review of a relevant book, a description of the outline for the application of a methodological framework, or some combination these, depending on the exact nature of the research in question. It will be supervised by the same member of staff whose expertise correlates with the research interest to be the topic of the HUMPP13 dissertation. The module contributes to the programme aims of enabling students (a) to become well-trained researchers in a Humanities subject area, and (b) to demonstrate their suitability to undertake research to a doctoral level.
