Overview

In this unit of study students complete and submit a substantial, independent research project in their chosen field of specialisation in either History, Literature, Philosophy, and Theology. Students will be required, in the thesis (15,000-18,000 words), to define their chosen topic; survey and critique relevant literature; and mount a logical and persuasive argument employing an advanced academic standard of presentation. During that process, they will be guided by a supervisor through regular meetings and discussions of draft submissions.

  1. Critically evaluate a body of material relevant to a specialised field of interest;
