Aims
To develop and test students' ability to prepare a dissertation based on a study in appropriate depth, of a subject of some significance in relation to their own discipline within the built environment.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Formulate a research question/problem and devise an appropriate methodology of investigation
2.
Gather, present, analyse and interpret appropriate evidence in relation to the chosen research question/problem and demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of the evidence
3.
Synthesise findings and draw justified conclusions around the research question/problem
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The dissertation will normally comprise 12,000 to 18,000 words and will contain a careful explanation of the research question/problem; a review of the relevant literature; an explanation of the research methodology; descriptions, analysis and synthesis of carefully prepared evidence. This evidence will include both the selection and evaluation of relevant published material, together with the gathering of evidence from primary and/or secondary sources. Students are required to undertake original empirical research as part of the dissertation preparation process. Written guidance is issued to students prior to the commencement of the dissertation preparation process. Students are counselled regarding their choice of topic and an appropriate supervisor allocated. A full research proposal must be submitted. During the period of dissertation preparation students are advised to keep in regular contact with their supervisor. N.B.: Students must undertake their dissertation within their chosen field of specialised study
