Summary of content

This module operates an overall 50% pass rate.

The module requires the student to produce a Dissertation relevant to their chosen specialism. The students should also make themselves adept in research methods through an independent learning regime, utilising the materials provided on GCU Learn as well as attending any events or planned seminars throughout the academic sessions.

Dissertations must demonstrate clearly the widest possible use of academic literature relevant to the chosen topic and the ability to independently apply academic and, where appropriate, comparative insights to the analysis of issues. Dissertations must also show an understanding of rigorous research methodology, information gathering and analysis.
