Assessment
MSc Practising Sustainable Development (full-time)
MSc Practising Sustainable Development (part-time)
Students are expected to produce ten pieces of work from Theory, policy and practice. Eight of these are formally assessed, while the other two form formative assessment. The final mark for the element is an average of the eight pieces of assessed work, five of which must be at a minimum mark of 50%.
The Research Training element is formally assessed through a full detailed research proposal (2500 words) which is submitted to the designated supervisor in April. In addition, students make an oral presentation outlining their research ideas and fieldwork plan in May, which also forms part of the assessment.
Candidates are also assessed through the Dissertation, a written thesis on an independent piece of research on a topic of their choice, which has been approved by the supervisor.
The various components of the degree programme attract different weightings as follows:
» Theory, policy and practice: 50%
» Research training: 10% (includes 5% for the research proposal and 5% for the research oral seminar presentation)
» Dissertation: 40%
