Dissertation

You'll put your specialist skills, knowledge, and understanding into practice by undertaking a significant individual research project and written dissertation.

Your project might involve you working within one of the School's world-class research groups. Alternatively, you might work elsewhere in collaboration with another academic or industrial partner where we have strong links.

Wherever you work, you'll be supervised, throughout your project. This will be by an experienced scientist or engineer.

Your supervisor will provide advice on the approaches and methods that are best suited to your research problem. They will also support you with your collection/analysis of data, and will guide you in producing a well-written dissertation.
