LCE 580 ma DISSERTATION (30 ECTS)
Students must have completed all the requirements of the teaching component of the programme and successfully passed their comprehensive examination before moving on to dissertation writing.
Students will be required to complete an original piece of research, derived from field or theoretical enquiry, resulting in a dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words (approximately 250 words in each double-spaced A4 page), that means approximately 60-80 pages. The dissertation should identify a topic worthy of consideration, offer a critical review of the current thinking on the subject, utilise appropriate research methods and tools, and offer original perspectives on the subject under discussion. The dissertation will be written under the supervision of two faculty members who most closely specialise in the student’s field of research.
Students are expected to follow specific guidelines:
- Preparation & submission of proposal
- Dissertation writing and submission
- Dissertation presentation to the academic committee.
