This is a full-year module for students undertaking a BSc degree in the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Students undertake a research project of their own design in the discipline of their degree. Students are responsible for research conception, design, implementation, and analysis. Work is done under the tutelage of a dissertation supervisor. Students attend regular supervisions. A work-in-progress presentation is required during the session. At the end of the project, students submit a 10,000-word dissertation summarising their findings. 

This is the compulsory dissertation module for students on the MA History, MA European History and MA Transnational Studies degree programmes.

This is the compulsory dissertation module for students on the MA Chinese Health and Humanity degree programme.

The module provides an introduction to the principles of chemistry as they apply to the natural world. Fundamental concepts of geochemistry will be learned in class lectures and in practical sessions focused on chemical bonding, mineral types and stability, stable and radioactive isotopes, aqueous geochemistry, low-temperature chemical reactions, basic thermodynamics and kinetics. Practical sessions will cement this knowledge and provide students with the opportunity to analyse geochemical data of practical importance.

By the end of this module students will have a sound basis for  their subsequent studies in geosciences, having gained basic understanding of how chemical processes  govern the composition, stability and flux of natural substances within the Earth system.

Only available for single hons Geog students. An independent piece of research carried out by undergraduates on a topic chosen by students and approved by the...
