"Module Description\nThe Honours dissertation project runs through your entire final year and allows you to carry out an original piece of scientific research on a subject of your choice covering contemporary biological and environmental sciences.\n\nThis is your opportunity to do some independent in-depth analysis on a topic that most excited you during your undergrad studies. During the project you'll have the guidance and advice of a dedicated supervisor. This module covers the start of your honours project and ensures that you have submitted your project for ethical approval, you have reviewed the relevant literature, and you have a project plan to put you on the pass to successfully complete your final dissertation in the spring semester.\n\nThese steps will be supported by a series of seminars. The data collection for your dissertation can start at any point once you have received ethical approval for your project and is not limited to the spring semester.\n\nLocation/Method of Study\nStirling/On Campus, UK\n\nModule Objectives\nProject specific work aimed at formulating the research question and/or hypothesis.\n\nPreparation of the first chapter of the thesis\n\nA series of prescribed sessions on the ethics application procedure.\n\nProject specific training and optional participation in the BES research seminar and PhD seminar series.\n\nAdditional Costs\n£TBC If the project requires fieldwork, there could be additional costs associated with travel to the field site. This is project specific, therefore please discuss with your potential supervisor.\n\nCore Learning Outcomes\nOn successful completion of the module, you should be able to:\n\nassess the ethical implications of your project and submit an ethics application for approval;\ncritically analyse scientific evidence and arguments from the peer-reviewed literature relevant to your research project;\nidentify a knowledge gap and construct a feasible and succinct research proposal.\nIntroductory Reading and Preparatory Work\nPlease contact your supervisor for a list of readings that is appropriate to your project.\n\nA more general text we recommend is the following (available from the library):\n\nFisher, Elizabeth; Thompson, Richard: Enjoy Writing Your Science Thesis or Dissertation!  - a Step-by-Step Guide to Planning and Writing a Thesis or Dissertation for Undergraduate and Graduate Science Students.

"Environmental Geography is an integrated four-year degree course that provides you with training across the spectrum of the subject. We emphasise research-led and experience-based approaches to understanding the complex relationships between people and the planet. With an international context, the course is designed to give you essential skills in critical thinking and reasoning, fieldwork, laboratory work, statistics and geospatial analysis.\n\nSemesters 1-2 focus on the building of planet Earth and the surface processes responsible for the evolution of our landscape. Alongside these core earth-science modules you'll be introduced to how people interact with the environment and the most pressing human-environment issues of the 21st century – including global warming, water resources, pollution and biodiversity loss.\n\nIn Semesters 3-4, the emphasis is on field skills, biogeography and environmental resilience, including the essential systems of nutrient cycling for sustaining life on Earth.\n\nIn Semesters 5-6, research-led teaching provides a wide range of advanced modules that include themes of sustainable environmental resources, palaeo-environments, earth-surface processes and advanced geospatial techniques including remote sensing and GIS. You'll also learn about sustainable development issues and there is a choice of skills-centred field courses in Year 3.\n\nIn your final year you'll develop and apply your research skills through your Honours research project. You'll be closely supported by your academic supervisor and can actively participate in national and international research programmes. In doing so, you can take full advantage of the wider geographical research community at the University."@en . . . "4"@en . "FALSE" . . "Bachelor"@en . "Thesis" .
