SPEX M Level Dissertation
Study for the dissertation, which may comprise systematic evaluation of literature, the conduct of research, evaluation of professional practice, or any combination of these through discussion with their project supervisor.

In this module the student will be exposed to all aspects of modern information retrieval processes, the organisation and resourcing of research, advanced time management, and the organising and presentation of data. The student must make inferences on conclusions, based on the evidence generated and supported by the empirical evidence. Furthermore, they must assess the significance of this work in relation to the field and make suggestions about how further work could improve or clarify the research problem. The results of the project will be disseminated in a dissertation report/thesis demonstrating the student's ability to research a subject, in-depth, as well as via an infographic demonstrating the ability to disseminate to a variety of audiences and stakeholders.
The student will meet regularly with their supervisor(s) to ensure that the project is well developed, organised, and executed. Progress will be monitored formally through a project proposal presentation.
