The dissertation constitutes the main work in which the student demonstrates the extent to which he or she has achieved the crucial learning outcomes from the programme's research training components. It normally takes the form of a report of a piece of empirical research, and has the following components: Critical review of the literature (substantive and theoretical, weighted as appropriate) on the chosen research topic; Statement of the specific research aims/questions to be addressed, and how these relate to the review of literature; Presentation and critical appraisal of the research design and methods employed.
