About this Unit
The research project requires one year of supervised study in an area of interest to the student that has theoretical or practical relevance to the student's disciplinary specialisation. It must make some original contribution to the field, and be the student's own work, with due acknowledgment of any sources that are drawn on. This project is to be reported in the form of a research thesis of approximately 10,000 words. Once completed to the satisfaction of the student's supervisor, the thesis is examined by one internal and one external examiner. The supervisor may not be an examiner. To acknowledge the importance of the research project and thesis it is numerically graded.
