Dear students,

This workshop is compulsory if you are a full-time student, or a part-time student in your second year (i.e., if you will be submitting your dissertation in 2025). Please read below for an overview of what the workshop will be about, and a bit of pre-workshop preparation you are required to do.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
- Describe the dissertation process and the learning activities it involves.
