5.0 FINAL PROJECT 5.1 Registration 15 You register for your Final Masters Project in the same way as for your other modules - see section 2.8 Module Registration, Course Planning and Approval. Once you are registered for your project, you are expected to submit it in the period for which you are registered. The University’s standard assessment arrangements and mitigating circumstances procedures apply (see below for information on withdrawal and mitigating circumstances). Formal requirements for your dissertation are set out in detail in the Project Module Booklet for your course. The main aspects are summarised below: 5.2 Supervision Arrangements Students will undertake the work under the guidance of a member of academic staff. This supervision is expected to take up, on average, 0.5 hour per week and the student is expected to work independently for a further 29.5 hours per week. Students working on projects are expected to use mainly email to discuss problems related to the undertaken work, to seek advice on the completed and future work, and to discuss the progress of their work. Supervisors are expected to use email as well to provide advice, guidance and support to students. If you need to arrange a meeting with your supervisor ion person, you can either visit the university, or you can deliberate a visit by the supervisor to your work place, whenever suitable. In either case, you must negotiate the meeting with your supervisor in advance. If you are an international student and you need a visa for coming to the UK on a visit, you may also need to contact the Graduate office for arranging the necessary documents related to the visa application. 5.3 Topic approval All final projects in this course must be related to your current work. Students can identify a problem themselves, they can ask their employer for formulating a suitable work-related problem, or they may accept a suggestion by the supervisor. After identifying the problem the students should write up a short proposal describing the nature of the problem, rationale, objectives and methodology. The topic of the project will be finalised in consultation with the agreed Project Supervisor, who will also advise on the scope and viability of the work and who will provide advice, guidance and support for the duration of the project. You should also consult the University’s Code of Good Research Practice which can be accessed at: http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/research/the-research-and-postgraduate-office/current-students/researchethics.cfm to see whether these guidelines raise any issues for your own research, and discuss them with your supervisor. 5.4 Planning and Timing An outline project plan forms part of the proposal submitted for FCPP01N. Further planning and timing are carried out in discussion with the project supervisor at the beginning of the project. In addition to meeting the Supervisor on a weekly basis, weekly workshops are organised by the Module Convener to address issues relevant to the Project, which gives the student the opportunity to get further feedback/advice and ask questions.
5.5 Submission 16 You must submit two copies of your dissertation/ project. One copy will be available for you to collect after marking and the other may be kept by the University, for reference. Both copies should be securely bound so that pages cannot easily be removed, lost or replaced. It is helpful if at least one of the copies is bound with front and rear boards rigid enough to hold the dissertation upright on a shelf, and has a navy blue cover with gold lettering. (Your Postgraduate Office can provide a list of thesis binders, or they can be sent to you via ordinary mail. There are three standard deadline dates for submission in every academic year. The dates for your course in 2011/12 are: Autumn Semester N/A Deadline Spring Semester 18 May 2012 (for full-time students only, if you started the project in the beginning of the second semester) Summer Period 31 August 2012 9 (for full-time and part-time students, if you started the project after you finished the second semester) Projects must be submitted at your Postgraduate Office Dissertations/Projects must be submitted at your Postgraduate Office
