The Approval Process

Final year project considered by due process – including ethics committee reviewing projects ensuring they operate within acceptable boundaries.
Student agrees objectives & methodology with supervisor. Then submit Dissertation Approval Form (including ethical evaluation) to module leader. Risk then assessed.
Most projects fall into minimal or low risk category – module leader approves outline & advises student and supervisor.
If initial review by module leader raises any questions, project referred to ethics panel who then approve with/without conditions or reject proposal.
