Key information

ECTS credits : 20

Level : SCQF level 11

Semester: Full Year

Planned timetable: TBC

The 30 ECTS (60 credit) module is a compulsory 20,000 word dissertation written on an approved topic as the culmination of the EU-funded Mundus Masters programme. Normally, it is written at the third University of the student's study itinerary during Semester 4 of the programme. In the one-year, direct entry variant of the programme, it is prepared during the 'trailing semester' (non-residential) which runs from the end of semester 2 to the following 31 September. In both cases, it is written in one of the principal languages of study (not in the language of the country of study) and is supervised by a 'principal' and a 'support' supervisor from two Universities of the Consortium.
