The dissertation is a piece of extended independent research (8,000 words long), structured as a critical evaluation, analysis or argument, about a topic relevant to French and Francophone Studies. The topic is chosen by the student, in conjunction with the dissertation coordinator and an individual Departmental supervisor, both of whom approve the topic. Students are encouraged to design their topic building on their previous studies, especially honours courses. The dissertation offers a chance for students to carry out in-depth independent study in French and Francophone Studies, and to acquire and develop valuable research skills. The course includes workshops on topics such as formulating research questions, literature search and review, relevant research methods, academic writing and editing. It also includes structured meetings with the dissertation supervisor.
