JNL305   Dissertation in Journalism   (20 credits)

Description

This module gives students the opportunity to develop their special interests either in an area of journalism in particular or the media in general. A dissertation demands the exploration of a subject in greater breadth and depth than coursework allows and provides the opportunity for students to demonstrate an understanding of the complexity of issues relating to their chosen area of study. This module will allow students to produce an individual piece of work demonstrating research initiative and original thought carried out under the guidance of a supervisor. Students are required to submit a dissertation of not less than 8,000 words and not more than 10,000 words in length in Semester 2.
