Description

The dissertation is a scholarly work of 12,000 words based on independent research and thought, and usually includes some original analysis of screen media that integrates a single or syncretic interpretation of known materials. The Film Studies Programme requires that the dissertation show that a candidate has a good proficiency in their chosen topic and shows a mastery of the material and is effective in its overall organisation and argumentation. Students are required to identify a member of staff based on their expertise and discuss the suitability of their project with them. Supervisors will offer guidance on how to define, conceptualize and prepare the project and will offer feedback on writing at various stages of the dissertation's development. Dissertations are submitted in early September of the following year.
