Overview
Module aims and purpose
This compulsory module will provide students with an overview and understanding of the role of the literature review in the doctoral thesis; the practicalities of constructing a literature review (surveying the literature; structuring the review; what should and should not be included and so forth); and the requirements for a good literature review (a critical and analytical approach, applied to both arguments and methodology, which demonstrates the need for the thesis research, the viability of the project, and the suitability of the proposed methodology). Students should gain an understanding of these issues both in relation to thesis research in general and their specific requirements. 聽
