Summer research period

Research dissertation (60 credits)

You must complete a satisfactory dissertation to be awarded your MSc. This piece of work, undertaken in your third term and over the summer, gives you the opportunity to apply the techniques and theories you have learned during the taught modules. Dissertation topics reflect the expertise of your lecturers and you may be asked to choose from a list of options.

Supervision often starts with small groups of students studying similar topics meeting with their supervisors, who then guide students in deciding on the focus for their individual dissertations. The dissertation itself normally consists of a literature review as well as a piece of original empirical work.

Dissertations have analysed:

• The development of foreign-owned multinationals in China: pitfalls and prospects

• Marketing in China: the images of domestic and foreign hypermarkets in China

• Foreign direct investment and environmental standards in the textile and electronics industries in China

• The Chinese beer market: marketing to reach the regions others can’t

• Corporate social responsibility in Chinese textile and apparel enterprises

• Environmental management in the aviation industry: an analysis of best practices in Chinese and UK firms.
