COM726 Support Sessions - Introduction (ARCHIVED)
This is an archive of Research Methods Support delivered to MAIDS students in the Summer 2023. Although dates and reference to assessments are no longer applicable, information on Research strategies are still current.
All Masters students undertake an extended body of work commonly called a Dissertation and an accompanying verbal presentation (Viva).
The content of the Dissertation should reflect your passions and interests within your field of study, and must be drawn from relevant theory, supported by the practical aspects of your degree.
There will be 6 support sessions taking place every Tuesday 1300-1400 in HC005 Lecture Theatre - this will be on your timetables.
