Dissertation (100%, 10000 words) in the LT.

MSc IR, MSc IR (Research), MSc IPE, and MSc IPE (Research) and MSc IRT students are required to write a 10,000-word Dissertation on a topic within the field of IR/IPE/IRT approved by the student's academic adviser. The Dissertation need not be an account of original research and may rely on secondary sources. Dissertation supervision consists of oral feedback at two points in the dissertation writing process: first when students submit the initial topic and research question in early LT; and second when students have submitted a more detailed 4-5 page plan in late LT. The Department will further supplement this supervision with a series of bespoke dissertation workshops focusing on research design, methodologies and the writing up process.
