The application of learning to an issue in Contemporary East Asian Studies is a key element of the MSc. The project, which may be either organisation-based or research-based, aims to identify and systematically explore a significant issue. Project advice and information are provided in the research methods course and in dissertation workshops. Following the submission of a project proposal, participants develop their proposals and meet with their academic supervisors and, if appropriate, their organisation sponsors. Between April and September, participants dedicate their time to the project, which is submitted in the form of a dissertation, not exceeding 15,000 words in mid-September.
