Dissertation preparation

The Degree Course periodically organises a thesis preparation course, aimed at providing students with the indispensable methodological criteria for drafting of the dissertation, as well as the necessary skills for retrieving and selecting materials and citing content correctly.  
The course usually takes place in February and September each year, and consists of two two-hour meetings.
The course is taught by a researcher or research grant holder from the Department of Law, Politics and International Studies on a rotating basis.
Attendance on the course is not compulsory, so students who are unable to attend will be advised by the supervisor to make use of appropriate reference material, including computerised material (slides and video recordings), made available via the Degree Course website.
