English Research Dissertation
Level 6 (30 credits)
The English Research Dissertation provides an opportunity for you to complete an in-depth research project within any aspect of the discipline of English Studies as it is taught at Queen Mary. You will be encouraged to pursue your own intellectual interests and supported in designing a project proposal via weekly workshops at the start of your final year. You will then engage in self-led research directed towards the completion of an assessed 10,000 word dissertation. Each student will be supervised in this undertaking from the mid-point of Semester A onwards by an identified member of the academic staff.
