This core module provides a context for the optional modules. These themes are developed in field study. This is a module from the Department s existing MA in Celto-Roman Studies. While not exclusively geared to the study of landscape developments, the course allows students to focus on landscape evidence and enables them to specialise in the landscapes of earlier periods. Case studies of selected British landscapes This module guides students in independent study of a series of well-documented landscapes such as the Gwent levels, the Blaenavon industrial landscape and the area around Caerleon itself.
Students then choose another landscape or theme for detailed study and presentation to the class.
For students working towards the MA, this may provide the basis for the dissertation. The final element of the course for students proceeding to the MA is a 20,000 word dissertation which is the result of original research on an approved topic. Students will receive full support through group and individual tutorials throughout the process of researching and writing the dissertation.
