The dissertation module is an independent study on a topic of the student’s choice, agreed with the study tutor during Year 2 based on an area of academic interest related to children and young people. It provides the opportunity for students to design and undertake a small-scale research study and receive regular diagnostic feedback from the tutor. Students will focus on in-depth research of the chosen topic, including a literature review, carrying out research tasks, collecting qualitative or/and quantitative data, using analysis and synthesis skills in an appropriate manner and present a cogent, well-constructed argument.

Guidance will be provided through the dissertation handbook and individual/group tutorials with your project supervisor.
