This one day symposium will explore how the dissertation experience can be enhanced. It will explore case studies which demonstrate how dissertations or creative honours projects can take many forms which are innovative or creative in the context of their discipline or institution, and may include group, work-oriented and community-based projects. The HEA’s Chief Executive Craig Mahoney will be giving a keynote speech, as well as Stephen Marston (Vice Chancellor, University of Gloucestershire) and Vicky Gunn (University of Glasgow). This event is sponsored by a National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) funded project being undertaken by the University of Gloucestershire entitled: ‘Rethinking Final Year Projects and Dissertations: Creative Honours and Capstone Projects’.
