Modules

Dissertation (60 Credits) - Core

The dissertation is a substantial piece of written work. It is intended to assess the full range of your abilities and to apply the full range of learning outcomes that you develop through your degree. In particular, it enables assessment of the ability to design, develop and write an advanced research project using primary and/or secondary materials appropriate to the topic and according to the necessary conventions of scholarly work. It requires independent motivation and self-directed learning, under supervision, and enables you to demonstrate competence for critical analysis and sustained persuasive argument. Students on the MA Sociology, and Urban and Cultural Analysis pathways will be expected to submit a written dissertation of 12-15,000 words. Students on the Visual Sociology pathway will complete a project which combines a practice element or product with a methodological and theoretical reflection (5-6,000 words) as part of the project. As a guideline, a project should show substantial engagement with media and materials, for example it might consist of ca. 20 mins of video, a series of 20-30 photographs or drawings or an installation combining any number of objects and texts.
