The module will include:
- Dissertation Workshops to outline expectations for the preparation of the Dissertation (guidelines, aims, choice of topic, period of study, supervision, length, layout, language, referencing, figures/tables, risk assessment form, ethics, disclaimer);
- meetings with your Dissertation Supervisor over the summer period;
- and independent study.
As part of this module, you will be offered an opportunity to discuss and agree the topic of your dissertation with the MSc Dissertations Tutor and your allocated Dissertation Supervisor. You will be given guidance on the preparation of your dissertation via Dissertation Workshops and through general support and direction by your Dissertation Supervisor while you are carrying out your independent research and writing it up. Your Dissertation Supervisor will meet with you during the summer period to discuss progress of your dissertation, advise you on the structure and comment on outlines of chapters. You will have the chance to present your dissertation proposal to members of the Centre for Research on Ageing team, and receive formative feedback.
