Introduction
The course is designed to allow students in the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Arts (International Studies) and other three-year awards in cognate disciplines to progress to higher degrees by research, and to prepare them for research or project-based employment.It equips graduates with high-level research skills and advanced theoretical concepts which are then applied to an area of research for which their Bachelors degree has provided appropriate background. With the guidance of an academic supervisor and coursework, students plan, research and write a dissertation. In it they are encouraged to identify the interdependence of research techniques, methodologies and theories of knowledge, and to articulate and justify their own perspective on research. Through a coursework research methods unit, students also participate in a research seminar in which they gain exposure to a broad range of knowledge and research approaches in cultural studies, international studies, humanities and social sciences, and develop skills in discussing and debating concepts and methods relevant to these areas.
