Synopsis

The  four credit point dissertation will focus on the workplace of the
student. It will involve applying theory and practical experience from
the  coursework  to  a  specific workplace  research  problem.  It  is
expected  that  students will choose either an  `action  research'  or
classical' approach to their dissertation. `Action research'  is  best
described  as a detailed, `one-shot' case study from which  principles
for  policy are derived. Such research would require a detailed record
of field work together with a dissertation paper. `Classical' research
would  follow  the  more usual pattern of higher degree  research  and
would  require a dissertation that advanced theoretical  or  empirical
knowledge modestly.
