How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Students draft a provisional thesis proposal in the autumn/spring semester and receive initial feedback from their programme director before being assigned a supervisor. Students are allocated a suitable supervisor from the School of English, Drama and Film staff who will meet with the student according to an agreed schedule to give feedback on their written work up during the summer trimester.
