This double module provides you with the opportunity to further your professional and academic development by pursuing a line of enquiry and its implications in depth. The dissertation allows you to extend your experiences of research by undertaking an extended academic study within an area of negotiated choice. You will be required to demonstrate that you are cognisant with the ethical issues of research and that you have sound knowledge of your area of concern. Undertaking the dissertation also places demands on you in terms of organisational and time management and, in doing so, offers you the opportunity to develop and demonstrate these important personal and professional skills. Environmental sustainability is integrated into the module through use of online learning resources, e-books and Moodle.
The dissertation represents the pinnacle of your undergraduate studies and is the strongest indicator that you are able to work as an independent researcher. To be at the stage of beginning to work on your dissertation indicates that you are successfully studying at a high academic level and have already achieved considerable success.
