Dissertation Project

This module aims to equip students with the research skills necessary to conduct and critically evaluate psychology research, including the systematic review and synthesis of research literature, and prepare them to conduct their own secondary research project. In this module, students will gain practical 'hands on' experience of supervised research in relation to a psychological topic of their own choosing. Students should gain a deeper understanding of the conceptual, methodological and logistical problems that may be encountered when conducting research independently under supervision. Students will have a supervisor for guidance throughout the process of research from developing a research idea, to sourcing and analysing data, and writing up the findings.
