BRIEFING SHEET
OCTOBER 2020 FT COHORT
In order for the University to allocate you a supervisor for your Dissertation, please
complete the Initial Proposal Form via Elite.
Based on the information submitted, the University will allocate you a supervisor
following your Term 1 assessments.
Research Methodology
- How are you going to answer your research questions?
- How are you going to analyse your research findings?
You should have watched this during induction, but it may be useful to revisit the
recording ahead of submission.
There will also be a Q&A drop in for those of you with questions about completing
the initial proposal form. This will take place on Friday 11 December 2020 at 10.00
via the Collaborate classroom in the Dissertation module. You do not need to attend
this session as there will be no formal presentation – it is just a chance for you to ask
questions.

STEP 2: First Supervision Meetings
Once you have been allocated a supervisor you should arrange your first supervision
meeting. This first meeting should take place before the Easter 2021 break (weeks
29 March and 5 April).
You should aim to have your second meeting before your term 2 assessments (week
of 24 May).
At these meetings, you will be refining your research question and scope of your
thesis based on your initial proposal form.
Note: If at one of these early meetings it becomes clear that you will need to
seek the approval of the University’s Ethics Committee, you will need to
commence your application immediately, as the collection of data involving
human participants must not begin until the Ethics Committee has approved
the submitted application form and supporting documents.
