For the final project, students will research and submit a dissertation or critical edition on a research topic or work agreed with the supervisor. The dissertation should be 15,000 words, excluding footnotes and bibliography. For a critical edition, you should provide a transcription of a substantial corpus of music from any repertoire, together with scholarly preface and/or commentary (in the style of a Musica Britannica edition) of around 5,000 words.
You will receive a maximum of six hours of one-to-one supervision with your tutor throughout Teaching Block 2. Tutors will look at sample drafts and chapters throughout the summer vacation and advise where necessary, but they will not read the final submission in its entirety.
