This module allows students to research a topic of their choice within the field of their specialist MA, and to present their findings within an extended essay. This allows students to tailor the programme to their individual specialism and provides invaluable experience that will assist with the research and writing of the MA dissertation in the second year.
Students receive generic classes in associated research skills, such as interview techniques, as well as individual supervision by an appropriate academic from the School of Arts & Humanities. The projects are used as the basis for formal oral presentations and students are given dedicated academic English and skills support to improve their ability and confidence in these areas.
The main aims are to:
- Allow students to undertake in-depth independent research on a chosen aspect of the arts and humanities, depending on which Masters’ programme they intend to follow;
- Improve students’ understanding of, and ability to use, academic English appropriately and effectively within a research context;
- Ensure students have the appropriate range of research skills required for successful MA study in a Humanities subject.
