Drawing on your degree studies in the first and second year, a Dissertation is a written research project undertaken in the third and final year of your undergraduate degree.

A Dissertation involves independent research about a topic of your choice within the field(s) of your developing expertise in music and sound. Building on your work in the first and second year, the problem or question you propose will be based on contextual understanding of relevant and contemporary debates and discussions in your specific area of music and sound. You will carry out an in-depth and critical investigation into your Dissertation topic and research question with the aim of producing a well-structured written response to your research question that contributes to the wider knowledge on your topic.

A good Dissertation demonstrates a well-researched understanding of the existing knowledge on a specific subject and proceeds to coordinate a written discussion and debate that provides new directions and offers interesting contemporary relevance. A Dissertation should engage with multiple perspectives and contexts; it is critically reflective and provokes considered discussion whilst proposing a central argument. By synthesising, analysing, questioning, and evaluating relevant research, the Dissertation should help you (and your readers) to better understand and critically question your topic.
