This unit entirely consists of a research-level project and its written description. The project titles and brief abstracts are made available to students at the end of their third year. Students submit their preferences after studying these and consulting with local Southampton staff, and the final allocation is made during the summer. Students are advised to have a preliminary discussion with their future supervisors before the summer vacation to discuss any background reading or other preparation that could be carried out during the vacation.
