Module overview
The dissertation is a core component of all Masters programmes at SOAS. The supervised dissertation research requires the ability to work independently on an original piece of research, to demonstrate familiarity with the relevant literature and present the resulting dissertation in a clear and organised format.
The research and writing of the Masters dissertation is a crucial component of Research-based Masters training.
The dissertation has a 10,000 word limit and counts for 25% of the overall degree. For details on presentation and submission dates, see the Postgraduate Taught Masters Handbook.
