Module Description/Content

This module provides the opportunity to undertake a piece of empirical education research which may involve data collection or secondary data analysis. You will be supported with one-to-one supervision by a UCL academic. Guided by your supervisor, you will employ skills learned in the pre-requisite ‘Writing a research proposal’ module in order construct a research proposal and secure data protection and ethics clearance for your project, before collecting and analysing data relevant to your research question. The topic will be one of your own choosing, and might be the one for which you developed a research proposal during the pre-requisite module, but this need not be the case and you are free to pursue a different area of study for your Dissertation.

Delivery Method:

This module will be delivered through one-to-one meetings with your dissertation supervisor. There will also be online support via UCL’s virtual learning environment (Moodle) as well as a number of optional synchronous virtual workshops held during the day throughout the year where you can come along and discuss your ideas and progress with peers and tutors, providing a high level of academic support.

The participant will write a 10,000-12,000 word Dissertation.

This module aims to give an overview of the main aspects of nonlinear systems. It will provide basic definitions and establish theoretical background. Where possible, practical applications will be considered via a hands-on approach to build up ability to model and visualise dynamical models.
