This module follows up from AH20920 Dissertation Preparation and Professional Practice for Students of Art History, which guides students through the process of planning a dissertation, from the initial research and review of subject-specific literature to the proposal stage.
Whereas AH20920 is taught in seminar sessions, the Dissertation module is taught as a series of individual tutorials in which students negotiate, shape and finalise their dissertation project with the assistance of their dissertation supervisors.
