The dissertation is seen as a major component of the programme in which the student will demonstrate an ability to independently integrate knowledge, skills and competencies acquired from all earlier units. In addition it provides the opportunity to consolidate and develop further skills in the use and application of research methodologies. This independent study will be defined in consultation with School staff.
