Methods of Assessment
As with all doctoral programmes, the key assessment output is a thesis, and the two taught modules are focused on providing the students with the opportunity to explore their chosen specialised area of research and preparing them to complete the thesis. There is therefore relatively limited variation in assessment methods – all modules are largely assessed by classic ‘academic writing exercises’, such as research project and a pilot study report. Oral presentations are included as a formative assessment method, and aim to support students in developing their ability to articulate and defend their research at viva voce.Research Methods for Doctoral Students (60 Credits)
