Major Project - TMA1319

Assessment 1: Written plan

The formative element of this module is on going. You will receive feedback on your work/performance within the module on a regular basis.

Written plan

Assessment 1: Dissertation/Thesis/Design Thesis (Written)

Research by written dissertation
Research by design: design proposal and a written dissertation.

Dissertation

<p>In this module you will develop a major, in-depth piece of research work. This includes a largely self-directed study, of what you have gained from the course and, often, you will be able to integrate it with elements from previous studies or professional experiences. It develops your research skills and abilities, allowing exploration of a particular and complex area covered in the taught elements of your programme of study. The major project represents a study of a specified topic based on the gathering and analysis of primary and secondary data, contextualised within existing knowledge in the field and drawing conclusions to a defined research question.</p>
