Dissertation
You must offer a dissertation as one of your options in both the MPhil and the MSt. The MPhil dissertation can be up to 25,000 words long (including footnotes but excluding bibliography); the MSt dissertation can be up to 10,000 words long. You decide on a subject in consultation with your Supervisor. The dissertation enables you to work in greater depth on a subject that particularly interests you and is particularly valuable if you are hoping to go on to work for a doctorate.
Not all courses and papers are available in every year. The authoritative information about courses and papers can be found in the University's Examination Decrees and Regulations, published with changes each October; the version published in the October a student begins a course will be authoritative for the examinations which that student takes at the end of the course.
