Modules

Dissertation (60 Credits) - Core
The vocational nature of this postgraduate programme is further enhanced by the dissertation, which is particularly useful for working professionals who want to focus their efforts on a topic that has particular relevance either to their own work environment or one in which they may want to further develop their career. The dissertation enables students to investigate and undertake an independent and sustained piece of research into a substantive topic within the field of Homicide Investigation studies. Students can select their own research area, but this is subject to authorisation of the course leader and the dissertation must include independent and original empirical research. Students will submit a formal dissertation plan and once this has been approved, students will be allocated a dissertation tutor, and for the remainder of the module, supervision of the dissertation will be conducted on an individual basis. It is expected that pertinent knowledge and skill gained in other course modules will be reflected in the dissertation.
