2011/2012 Timetable

The timetable for 2011/2012 is available below. Please note that changes may be made to days, times and venues throughout the year but these changes will also be emailed to you. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the PG Office.

Assessment Submission

All assessments should be submitted to the School Postgraduate Office (1st floor Dugald Stewart Building). Students are required to submit one hard copy and one electronic copy (through TurnItIn) of each assignment (unless it is specified that 2 hard copies are required) and attach a signed cover sheet to all submissions. The deadline for all submissions is 4pm on the deadline day (unless specified as 12 noon). Late submissions without an approved extension will incur penalties as described in the PPLS MSc Student Handbook.

Assignment Submission Deadlines

Assessment submission deadlines for all PG courses run within PPLS can be found below. Students should note that these dates are susceptible to change and should always check with their Course Organiser for final confirmation.

Guidance on Writing Essays

Some guidance on how to write essays can be found below.  Although they appear to be specific to subject areas, the information can be crossed over to any area you are studying, the information is general and you can always contact your Course Organiser for specific guidance on what they require of an assignment.

Dissertation Submission 2011/2012

Two hard copies and one electronic copy of the dissertation must be submitted to the PPLS Postgraduate Office no later than Friday 17th August 2012 at 4.00 pm. Extensions will be granted in exceptional circumstances only.

Students must note that this deadline applies to all students across the University and should therefore ensure plenty of time is given for printing and bind their 2 hard copies.

Dissertation Topics

Dissertation topics by available potential supervisors can be found at the following webpage:
