Category: Dissertations and Research Reports (MSc)

Dissertations and Research Reports (MSc) from students completing HPSCGA98.

The Master’s degree culminates in a research project of the student’s own design, and this project is documented by a research report or a dissertation. The student’s work is guided by an academic supervisor. It also is supported by a variety of key skill programmes. Students are expected to construct a research project that includes original research, clear methodological choices, and relevance to significant conversations within the discipline. The dissertation is the capstone of the Master’s programme. It should represent the very best research and analysis a student can produce. This is a 60 credit module.
