General Information

Overview

Dissertation A is the first of two Master of Arts (MA) dissertation units (note: the dissertation is a single document; the enrolment is divided into Dissertation A and Dissertation B for ease of administration only). The dissertation will demonstrate an appropriate level of mastery in the chosen arts or humanities discipline. You will have received research training, decided on research questions and examined the related literature in the two prerequisite MA units of study. In this Dissertation unit, your research journey hits the road beyond the planning stages as you undertake the planned research tasks. The research tasks will necessarily vary per project, and you will receive supervision and mentoring on the journey. You will report on your research project progress at regular intervals.
