They will be encouraged to engage with, and make use of: professional networks; critical reflections; discussions; online forums; supervision meetings. Students will be encouraged to attend ICE and University seminars as enrichment.

Further details relating to assessment

Is this module exempt from condonement of marginal failure? Yes

Students on this module will be engaging in literature-based research. As no empirical data will be collected, and no human participants involved, students will not be required to submit an application for ethical approval.

Students will be provided with a set of writing guidelines to support the structuring of the assessed dissertation.
