MSc Week for projects

Process

• The student develops an idea for a project, and discusses this idea with their supervisor. With the supervisor's encouragement, the student submits an outline project proposal, and books a place on a project week.
• The project week affords an opportunity for the student to start work in earnest, to attend teaching sessions and workshops, and to have one-to-one meetings with their supervisor.
• Six weeks later, the student submits a progress report. If this is approved, they may continue. If not, then they will need to submit a revised report for assessment after the next project week.
• The student provides their supervisor with further reports on progress as they complete the project and start to work on the dissertation.
• The student submits their dissertation before the end of their current final term of study.

Project Week will:

• Structure and expectations
• Introduce the various kinds of projects that we encourage and discuss with relevant examples.
