Students are required to write a 10,000-word MSc thesis during the third term and throughout the summer period to complete the programme. They can choose their own topic providing it relates to one of the main themes of the course or can choose from topics suggested by members of staff. Students can also work on topics suggested by external organisations (e.g., by government, industry, or external research institutions), given that these have been signed off by the MSc Dissertation Tutor. The dissertation is supervised by a member of staff, but is largely self-directed. Dissertation projects which involve an external organisation usually also include an external, secondary supervisor. You may select a topic to assist career development, in relation to a project placement, to develop a strength, or for the inherent interest in the subject. All MSc students will be asked to inform the Dissertation Tutor about potential dissertation topics half-way through the second term of the academic year. Towards the end of the second term, students will be given an MSc Dissertation Proposal Form to complete and to hand in to the Dissertation Tutor.

Developing the Role of the Higher or Further Education Tutor (CPAS0112)

This module, which has a special focus on the distant or 'outreach' tutor, has been specifically developed to provide a professional development course for HE and FE tutors. It has been designed for tutors to reflect on their own role as responsible tutors when managing the teaching and learning within their own context of work in order to develop students' learning. The module offers guidelines about the responsibilities that tutors undertake, especially in relation to the programme or course within which their modules might be set. Effective use of virtual learning environments is included in discussions of learning and teaching.

Participants are expected to submit coursework evidencing their reading in the field and their reflections upon their experience or expected experience of being a Tutor or leader in their course.
The module is taught online and will run in the Autumn term in 2022-23.

This module belongs to the MA Advanced Educational Practice, MA Education (Advanced Practice) and the Graduate Diploma in Advanced Educational Practice programmes.

The module will only be able to run in the 2022-23 academic year if it achieves enough interest. Students interested in taking the module should contact ioe.aep@ucl.ac.uk
