About this Unit
In 2013 this unit replaced by 101889 - Integrated Project. This unit is the capstone for the Master of Social Science. It extends students' critical practice in their specialist field, building on Theories of the Social and Research Methods for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Students will undertake intensive analyses of the links between theory, research and practice and prepare and carry out an investigation negotiated with an academic advisor. The unit consists of intensive workshops and a plenary seminar in which students present their work. Throughout the semester study groups based on specialties will meet with an academic advisor. A substantial research report of activities/ investigations, analyses and interpretations will be produced that complies with the unit's objectives. Note: Projects are not individually supervised, but will require the production of an individually completed research project and report.
