Government Social Research
The report module of the degree is based upon independent study.
The total assessment for the award of Master's degree must include either a dissertation or a report. In addition, you should note that although this is not a taught element of the course you are entitled to individual support for this element of your programme of study.
The report is worth 30 credits for 8,000 to 10,000 words. Your Course Leader will be able to advise you of the assessment criteria for a report or dissertation; the general criteria can be found in the Student Handbook, which will be given to you following your registration.
The dissertation should ideally be related to your area of work. It would therefore be desirable if your line manager acted as a mentor to the project.
