Dissertation on Geography in Education and Integrated Research Methods (CPAS0047)

This is the Dissertation module for MA Education (Geography) which runs online and starts in the Autumn term.

This module provides the opportunity to carry out a sustained and systematic piece of academic or professional enquiry in your chosen area of research interest. With support from your supervisor, you will formulate relevant research questions and set about answering them on the basis of literature and/or systematic data collection and analysis. Guided by your supervisor, you will develop skills in searching literature databases, reading and critically evaluating published work, and presenting a written report of your work.

Design for Performance and Interaction: Thesis Portfolio, Final Projects (BARC0071)

Students investigate the initial proposals that were put forward in BARC0070, subjecting them to a critical analysis, which can include the predicted response of observers, acoustic, lighting performance and visual performance. New proposals are put forward as time-based simulations and fabrications in an iterative process, with the aim of generating a finished elegant final piece. This work is presented in a final portfolio, which is marked at the final portfolio review.

Research Methods in Data Analysis in Science and Technology Studies (HPSC0126)

This module introduces students to the theory and practice of research methods in STS and social sciences. It covers research design; qualitative and quantitative methods; research management and ethics; and the epistemology of social research. The module is strongly recommended for any students wanting to undertake empirical social science research for their dissertation and later in their career. It also is strongly recommended for students who want to familiarise themselves with how social scientists (particularly within STS) undertake research. For students wishing to apply for ESRC +3 PhD funding, this module is designed to cover the core training requirements specified within Annex I of the ESRC Postgraduate Training and Development Guidelines (2009).
