MINDFULNESS-BASED APPROACHES:

DISSERTATION

This is a Master’s level research dissertation of up to 20,000 words, worth 60 credits. Students engage in a piece of independent research in an area related to mindfulness-based approaches with the support of an identified supervisor.  Both original research projects and innovative research on existing studies can be used as the foundation of the dissertation.

Students may work on their dissertation alongside the taught component of the Master’s programme, but can only register for and submit their dissertation after successful completion of four Master’s level modules. Students may also opt to start their dissertation after completion of the taught modules; it must be submitted within the 5 year time limit set out in University regulations.
