What does the dissertation entail?
The final third of the master’s course is taken up by a research project, which must be written up as a dissertation. The nature and focus of this project can be anything within the subject area, but ideally should be not only a relevant and worthwhile piece of research but also be of genuine interest to you and pertinent to your particular circumstances or aspirations. Inevitably the project will involve elements of planning, gathering or generating information, analysis and presentation but no more specific information can be given here as each project will be uniquely formulated by each student together with experienced University of Sheffield staff.
