The Dissertation is the main project for the MSc and MArch degrees in Sustainable Environmental Design. It is a vehicle for undertaking a significant piece of research. For the MSc this should combine a critical review of the relevant literature with case studies and analytic work. For the MArch, the Dissertation Project must include an original design application that should be researched and tested to some detail. Selection of dissertation topics takes place during Term 2. The projects are then developed over Terms 3 & 4 supported by individual tutorials, class presentations and regular seminars.
