Information on the presentation of the dissertation is available here . When writing the dissertation each student receives personal supervision from a member of staff who is a specialist in the area selected. Communication with other students on the programme is achieved through our own listserver. We also produce a newsletter for students called Distance News , containing news, programme information and useful articles. A research project of 10,000 - 12,000 words Programme participants are provided with study materials for each module selected, supporting tapes and bibliographies.
Additional reading is required.
Each module is assessed by a written assignment of 3,000 words. The assignments can be submitted in hard copy or by e-mail. Each assignment is graded by two markers who agree upon an internal mark. This mark is sent to the student along with the feedback, by e-mail, or on audiotape. Written feedback is sometimes used.
