The second part consists of an individual dissertation that is assessed via a written report.
The content and the scope of both group work and individual dissertations are based on physics and astronomy ideas with the focus on independently researching them, report writing in a style of scientific papers, presentation skills as well as effective team working.

The Masters dissertation gives you the opportunity to undertake an extended piece of independent research in Applied Linguistics or English Language Teaching, with guidance from a supervisor.
