Alternative credit options
There are no alternative credit options available for this module.
This module provides students with the opportunity to pursue self-initiated, independent and in-depth research on their chosen topic. The independent research project allows students to demonstrate their ability to produce a substantial piece of written work, and enhances the skills required to do this: analysis and synthesis, clarity of thought, concision, organisation and project management. The topic of the research project must fall within the discipline range of SELCS. It may relate to the subject area of a module already taken but it must not significantly replicate arguments already produced elsewhere.
The project is a piece of independent research, under the guidance of a supervisor. Students and their supervisor will have approximately two hours of contact over the course of the academic year to discuss the progress of the work.
