A systematic approach to the analysis of a specific body of literature will be encouraged. Students are invited to identify preferred subject matters so long as they fall within the area of the supervisor's expertise. Supervision will be given to aid students in the collation, planning and organisational phases of their work. The review will be limited to 5,000 words.
