• A student, supervisor and project will be brought together consensually and a one year research project will be performed within one of the SPS research groups. This will be completely equivalent to a current research masters degree.
Five days per week for 24 weeks. Contact with supervisor as appropriate, collaboration with other members of the research group.
Coursework 100%.
The dissertation required at the end of the project and the interim report after two months have the objectives of encouraging students to write clearly and express their understanding of their work in appropriate formal ways. The presentations during the final conference and after two months are designed to develop comparable oral and public speaking skills.
The quality of the work undertaken as represented in the project report and the oral presentation will contribute towards the final mark with approximate weightings of 80% and 20%.
At the end of Year 2, students will submit a dissertation of circa 100 pages and make a second presentation to a conference of Euromasters students, including the next cohort, supervisors and others who may be interested in learning about the work.
None; appropriate background reading will be suggested by individual project supervisors
