Instructions

Please read the below carefully, and in its entirety.

Dear Student,

We hope you are all well.

The following schedule will bring us up to the minimum study time of 18 months after which you will be issued a transcript confirming your completion (should you pass).

The current schedule looks as follows:

• Submission of Research Proposal Title: Friday 27st of February 2026
• Allocation of Supervisor and beginning of Dissertation supervision period: 16th -23rd of March 2026
• Submission of final Dissertation: Monday 29th of June 2026
• Examination Board and Official Completion of Programme: Friday 28th of August 2026

During your Research Methodology online study, you should have been constantly thinking of what you will research for your dissertation. We would like you to submit the proposed title for your Dissertation by next Friday 27st of February 2026. The title proposal will be submitted as an Ungraded Survey under Quizzes. Please make sure to have your title prepared before accessing the survey as you will only have one attempt to submit this.

Please note that you do not need to submit a full research proposal, just a title for your dissertation. You will have an additional week of time with your supervisor to discuss the proposal in depth. Even a general area of study is sufficient for the allocation of a supervisor. Therefore, the research proposal has now taken the form of a talk or exchange with your supervisor at the beginning of the dissertation period. If you have prepared a proposal, you may send this to your supervisor at the beginning of the supervision period. They will ask you to explain what your title is, what data you will collect, how you will do it, which question you want to answer etc. Basically, a condensed version of your research proposal.

If you do not submit a proposed dissertation title you will not be allocated a dissertation supervisor. Once you have submitted your proposal and you have been allocated a supervisor, we expect weekly contact with them in order for you to work on the dissertation. Dissertations submitted without proper supervision may not be accepted and students may be required to attend a Viva or dissertation defence.

You have now been added to your dissertation platform, please make sure to accept the invitation. Please review the supplementary information contained on those platforms as it is added and submit your dissertation title in the appropriate section.

We would like to stress that we only require a proposed title for your Dissertation by Friday 27st of February 2026. We do not require a full research proposal, just the title of what you would like to study for your dissertation, submitted on the Canvas survey. You will then have initial conversations with your supervisor at the beginning of your supervision period to plan out your research, like you would in a research proposal, and we have allocated extra time for this above the normal dissertation time.

We believe it is much more effective for a student to build their dissertation from the very beginning with their supervisor present for the whole development.

The title will also be discussed by your supervisor at the beginning of the thesis and can be changed if required, so please do not worry if you are not sure your title is appropriate. As long as it represents the general area you would like to cover in your dissertation, it is sufficient

With Kind Regards,
