Summary
This module represents a single large independent project or coherent body of work, equivalent to the study and output of six modules in the School of English online masters scheme. It requires the production of 15,000 words or equivalent. A student will retain their Personal Advisor, but will additionally be assigned a Supervisor who will guide them through their research and studies in producing their large project. The hexapod online material covers a large set of research and study resources, alongside the individual and personalised expert supervision. The topic of the hexapod will be determined, proposed and designed by the student, arising from their own interests, within the broad field of Applied English.
