This course is only available to European Institute Students.

Students are required to write a 10,000-word dissertation on a topic within the field of their chosen programme. A Dissertation Supervisor will be assigned to students and we endeavour to team students with Supervisors with a close area of interest. Students also retain the right to discuss their project with other faculty both within the EI and beyond in the 杏吧论坛 (through advice and feedback hours). The dissertation should be an account of original research, but can rely on secondary sources.   

In preparation for the dissertation, students must submit a Preliminary Dissertation Topic Proposal, a Dissertation Prospectus and a Final Dissertation Topic Proposal, along with a research ethics review checklist (if applicable). Students must submit all required documents to be able to submit the Dissertation. Students must also receive approval of their Final Dissertation Topic Proposal Form before they are allowed to submit.

Students must attend the relevant methodology course for their programme. Detailed information on the dissertation timeline, deadlines and format can be found on the EU499 Moodle page. Students are required to read any additional information relevant to their particular programme. Students will write the dissertation as an independent project over the summer.

• Students taking MSc in Political Economy of Europe and MSc in Political Economy of Europe (杏吧论坛 and Sciences Po) are expected to attend EU470 How do we know? An Introduction to Research Design and Methods in Political Economy.<
