28 July 2025 - 31 October 2025

Give some thought to a theme, topic, problem, or area of professional practice you would like to explore in an interdisciplinary way.  

Fortnightly hour-long Zoom tutorials.

Students are expected to attend all Zoom meetings and to engage with their peers and with EBC faculty invited into the session to support projects from their areas of disciplinary expertise. Dates are to be set after consultation with the student cohort. 

We recommend that you allocate 12 hours a week for all study activities.

This is a summative unit, required for all Masters awards, and is usually undertaken in the final semester of study.

Students work together in a cohort in which they present their work to their peers and to a cross-disciplinary team of faculty members, guided by the teacher of the unit.

Read the lectures and readings, view the supplementary videos, attend the fortnightly Zoom meetings, present work in progress, respond to the presentations of peers, and complete a 7,000-word essay.
