The MA consists of two compulsory modules: Interdisciplinary Research Methods: Approaches and Techniques, and Dissertation in Lake District Studies in which you undertake a 20,000 word Dissertation under individual supervision.
On completion of the course of study you will have achieved a detailed level of specialist knowledge in research methods, approaches and techniques in a range of research fields, including palaeoenvironmental studies, archaeology, history, rural studies, tourism and literature, with a specific focus on the Lake District. One of these fields would be developed further in your dissertation. In addition through the seminars, supervisions, and independent work on your dissertations, you will improve your cognitive and problem-solving skills. You will also develop transferable skills in areas such as research project design, literature searches, bibliographical techniques and data retrieval, data collection and analysis, cartography and dissertation writing.
