• Identify and develop an appropriate geographical research topic
• Conduct self-directed primary and secondary research on an agreed geographical topic
• Introduce, discuss and analyze research findings in a relevant theoretical context

• Module Graded (numeric value) or Ungraded (Pass/Not Passed): Graded
• Continuous Assessment detail(s): Total assessment based on thesis.

• Pass standard: 40%
• Could the result of this module be capped? No

• Are supplemental/resit registrations permitted? Yes
• Students will be allowed to resubmit an amended version of their thesis, but will need to accompany this with a one-page document that clearly outlines the changes that have been made to this report, with respect to the version submitted in April/May. Students who failed to submit a thesis in April/May will be allowed to do so during this period. In both cases, normal submission rules (as for the regular lecturing term) will apply here: further submission details will normally be posted on the GY303 Moodle page, but students should also contact their thesis supervisor and/or the module convenor. Only those students who have officially registered to repeat/resit the module in the Autumn will be allowed to submit supplemental continuous assessment.
