MA/MSc Dissertation Talks 2009-2010

All students are required to attend the relevant Initial Dissertation Talks by individual MA or MSc Programme, where the Dissertation guidelines booklet will be distributed, and information regarding the process will be provided. In addition, please note that any sessions marked with * will also include further information about what it is like to undertake a dissertation in that subject area and are therefore open to other MA/MSc students to attend who may be thinking of undertaking a Dissertation in that area.

Supplementary Dissertation Talks have also been scheduled to take place, including a general Talk on ‘Gaining Access to Financial Databases’ for anyone who may need to access Financial Data regarding their research. Further Supplementary Dissertation Talks by Division/Area (not covered by one of the Initial Dissertation Talks) have also been scheduled to take place.
