It is therefore vital that:

• You allocate sufficient time to complete the dissertation thoroughly – it is worth a third of your marks – you should aim to spend about 600 hours working on it.
This module provides an opportunity for students to use and extend the knowledge and skills that they have acquired during their programme of study. Using appropriate research methodologies and data collection methods, students will critically synthesise a body of knowledge relevant to the taught programme
