The student carries out an extensive review of the world literature and pursues a
program of original research on a selected topic. The literature review and results
of the research project are incorporated into a dissertation. The goal of masters
degree studies is to enable the student to undertake some measure of research on his/her
own, but the research need not be original. The basic objectives for a Masters' degree
are, firstly, that the student shall be able to plan, execute and write a research
project, and secondly, that the candidate is capable of interpreting and discussing
the findings
