LS552G: DISSERTATION (2016-2017)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

This course is taken only by students on the General Route of the LLM programme. It involves preparing a proposal for a thesis in an area related to part of the programme subject matter. The proposal, once approved, is then expanded into a full 10,000 word thesis. This is prepared under supervision by an academic with special knowledge on the thesis topic. This is an opportunity to conduct a deep and industry-valuable study of an area of interest to the student. Very high quality dissertations are sometimes developed (potentially with the assistance of academic staff) into professional or academic journal publications.
