Prof Tirthankar Roy SAR 616

This course is available on the MA Global Studies: A European Perspective and MSc in Global History. This course is not available as an outside option.

The subject of the dissertation should relate broadly to one of the global history taught courses taken by the student. It should be a critical survey of a well-defined problem in the literature. It must demonstrate adequate knowledge of appropriate literature in Global History and an ability to handle problems of evidence and explanation. The title must be approved by the student's supervisor. A provisional title should be agreed by mid-LT.

Arrangements for supervision:

EH481 gives essential training for the dissertation. Starting in the first term, students will receive advice on the choice of topic and how to tackle it, both from the Department and, individually, from their tutor and from the teacher of the most relevant taught course. There will be meetings during the course of the year. The student must submit a one page summary and draft work for comment by Week 9 of the Summer Term. Supervisors will not normally provide comments on drafts submitted after that date.
