Synopsis

Students will pursue an in depth study within their specialisation area. It will involve an extensive investigation of the literature relevant to the particular focus of the individual's major study area. This will lead to the submission of a written report in a format suitable for presentation at a professional conference. Topics will be based on advisor - student negotiation. Students may work in small cohort groups which are focussed upon a common area of interest and all students will be advised by a member of staff within the specialisation. NOTES: 1.
