| Overview | Factors which are likely to influence decisions on which units you propose to undertake and which degree to enter, whether to complete the degree by thesis alone or in combination with course work, are likely to include: (i) the extent of previous study in the area which you will pursue further in a thesis. This is likely to strongly influence the course work which you choose; (ii) your personal preferences, including whether you prefer to undertake fairly supervised and structured course work on the one hand, or largely self-directed and self-paced research work on the other; (iii) your background (if any) in research methodology. If you do not have background in this area, you will almost certainly be advised to include two units in this area; (iv) your future plans. |
