MAIN AIMS OF THE MODULE
To develop professional, research and critical skills necessary to support higher learning and
development of an integrative approach to problem solving, necessary for success in environmental
science careers in public or private sectors or the academic environment.
To encourage students to understand and critically reflect on methods and techniques for knowledge
analysis in the context of modern research, and to develop a practical grasp of available resources to
support research in environmental sciences
To promote an inter-disciplinary understanding of the interactions between human society and the
environment that are likely to undergo significant change in response to global climate change
LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THE MODULE
1. Develop problem formulation, literature searching, critical analysis, and written/oral
communication skills to support the dissertation experience, and to enhance employability
across a wide variety of environmentally-related vocations
2. Demonstrate the awareness of linkages between the variety of subject areas that comprise
environmental science, and the integration of different disciplinary approaches to support
problem solving.
MAIN TOPICS OF STUDY:





Methods and techniques for knowledge analysis (e.g. Vee-heuristic, concept maps)
Skills associated with critical and reflective understanding/evaluation (e.g. identifying
knowledge claims and schools of thought, evaluating methodologies)
Skills associated with communication of scientific issues (developing hypotheses,
communicating uncertainty, referencing in scientific writing)
Issues associated with professional practice and research in environmental sciences (e.g
research ethics, academic honesty and plagiarism)
Case studies in global climate change – development of an integrated understanding of the
impacts of climate change on society and the environment and the increasing importance of
sustainability as a guiding principle in all arenas of human activity
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS/STRATEGIES USED TO ENABLE THE ACHIEVEMENT
OF LEARNING OUTCOMES: these might include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practicals, workshops,
laboratories, distance learning, projects or other methods (please specify).
The methods used to achieve learning outcomes are:
 Seminars that focus on providing students with a framework for development of critical thinking



skills (i.e. knowledge analysis) and fundamental information relevant to communication of
science (written reports, posters, oral presentations, referencing)
Seminars covering contemporary issues in environmental science (principally concerning
climate change issues) in which students will be encouraged to develop an integrated
understanding of the manifold impacts that climate change is likely to have on society and the
wider environment
Workshops designed to provide candidates with the opportunity to apply research, critical and
professional skills in a mutually supportive context. Students will work individually and in teams
to develop and apply knowledge and some sessions will focus specifically on development of
dissertation proposals (see below) [All learning outcomes].
Essential (and additional) reading that covers important contemporary issues in environmental
science from a variety of disciplinary approaches [All learning outcomes]
The University expects student learning hours to be a notional 10 hours per credit awarded (ie a 20
credit module would involve notional learning time of 200 hours) including taught classes, private
study, revision and assessment. The University does not provide guidelines on the minimum number
of contact hours per module because patterns of study, including the ratio of contact hours to selfstudy hours, are likely to vary across levels as learner autonomy increases.
The distribution of learning hours across this module are broadly as follows: (a) up to 36 hours are
contact (inc. content delivery, workshops and/or seminars) and (b) the remaining hours are noncontact hours (i.e, private study) partially directed and supported via u-link
ASSESSMENT METHODS WHICH ENABLE STUDENT TO
DEMONSTRATE THE LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THE MODULE:
WEIGHTING:
There will be a number of formative assessments throughout the module to
develop and reinforce learning outcomes
The module will feature a single summative coursework assessment, which
will be a proposal for dissertation topic, which will feature a literature review
and critical analysis of a relevant area for the programme being studied,
development of hypotheses, and proposal for dissertation research.



allows students to undertake an in-depth study of a topic, using primary or secondary data
sources, that is of relevance to the module
develop an integrated, and where appropriate interdisciplinary, understanding of the topic
chosen
LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THE MODULE
The module provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and
understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes in the following areas:
(A) Knowledge and Understanding
Students will have knowledge and understanding of the:
 chosen topic(s) for their dissertation
(B) Cognitive (thinking) Skills
Students will be able to:
 critically assess peer-reviewed literature in relevant area(s)
 use and employ appropriate research methods
 interpret analytical, statistical and other data in order to draw appropriate inferences
 undertake critical assessment of one’s own research in order to identify limitations of the work
and (if necessary) be able to specify criteria for application of knowledge that has been
developed
(C) Other Skills and Attributes (Practical/Professional/Transferable)
Students will have the following transferable skills:
 write a coherent, concise and well structured report on their research
 independently seek out research material and guidance on the appropriate presentation of a
dissertation report
 work independently to schedule activities to meet deadlines
 demonstrate initiative and ability to tackle novel problems and seek assistance from
supervisor at appropriate points
 undertake to develop a sound working relationship with one’s supervisor
MAIN TOPICS OF STUDY:
For dissertations using secondary data sources, students are encouraged to choose their own
topic; for dissertations generating primary data (e.g. laboratory studies) suitable topics are
chosen by the supervisor in order to fit into the research expertise of staff. Dissertations
involving work with external organisations to produce primary data can be developed in
cooperation with a suitable external supervisor.
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS/STRATEGIES USED TO ENABLE THE ACHIEVEMENT
OF LEARNING OUTCOMES: these might include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practicals, workshops,
laboratories, distance learning, projects or other methods (please specify).
Students will apply, in a formal manner, the skills and knowledge they have acquired during the
taught part of the programme (mainly in the coursework component). This includes process
skills (searching literature, accessing and analysing data, problem formulation and expression,
literacy); presentational skills (report writing, word processing, data illustration in the form of
graphs and tables); management skill (setting objectives, project planning, progress review, time
management); personal skills (self-reliance and motivation, self-discipline, self-criticism).
The dissertation supervisor, as part of his/her supervisory role, will also reinforce these skills.
Students are encouraged to work independently, but at the same time are expected to contact
their supervisor on a regular basis in order to seek advice and obtain feedback if, and when,
required.
The University expects student learning hours to be a notional 10 hours per credit awarded (ie a 20
credit module would involve notional learning time of 200 hours) including taught classes, private
study, revision and assessment. The University does not provide guidelines on the minimum
number of contact hours per module because patterns of study, including the ratio of contact
hours to self-study hours, are likely to vary across levels as learner autonomy increases.
