Description	This module enables students to combine independent study and research in their two disciplines into one project, for which they will receive joint supervision from staff in the two disciplines. The length, format, number of supervisions and other conventions relating to the project will follow the arrangements in place in the Home department, though the subject-matter should be roughly equally divided between the two discipline areas. Students will have access to research support provided by both disciplines in the form of any lectures, workshops and other sessions available to single-discipline Dissertation students. The 40 credits of the module will count equally towards both subjects taken – i.e. 20 towards the home department and 20 towards the partner department – when it comes to calculating the final degree title.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Conduct extended independent research into a subject involving both their JH disciplines in a roughly 50/50 proportion Undertake a thorough synthesis and review of the material available on the area of study Providing independent critical analysis and draw appropriate conclusions and arguments Demonstrate a thorough familiarity with the conventions of scholarly presentation and referencing
