A major component of the MSc in Deaf Studies is the dissertation. This will allow the students to demonstrate the capability to develop a topic from the field, establish a research question, choose and implement the methodology, analyse data and provide a report which will be of value to the research community as well as being of significance to the practitioners. The student is encouraged to choose a topic of relevance for both theory and practice. It is expected that the dissertation topic will evolve fom negotiations with relevant professionals, experiences in the field as well as from stimulation by course content and discussions with staff. The dissertation is to be supervised by University staff and will be assessed against the usual criteria of innovation and rigour. Students will apply appropriately all procedures as set out by the CDS Ethics Committee.
