National Symposium: ‘Rethinking the Final Year Undergraduate Dissertation’
22 June 2011, 10.30-15.45
General Purpose Hall, Park Campus,
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50 2RH
Symposium Programme
This symposium will explore ways in which we can rethink the final dissertation, but which retain a significant element of research and deliver key graduate attributes. Some departments have introduced separate capstone projects in their final year courses either instead of, or in addition to, the dissertation. These take many forms which are innovative or creative in the context of their discipline or institution, and may include group, work-oriented and community-based projects. There can also be novel ways of disseminating the findings – via exhibitions, undergraduate research conferences and other forms of public engagement. The symposium will be an interactive fun event stimulated by a few short talks from experts and with plenty of opportunities for discussion.
We are offering this conference free of charge, including refreshments and lunch, to both internal and external delegates, but because of that places are restricted on a first come basis. However, delegates who register but do not attend on the day will be charged £25.
