During the third year of the undergraduate degree (Stage 3), attention shifts to the application of critical thinking and assessment, novel interpretation, and independent research.
Students become more directly involved with independent question-driven research, especially through preparation of a dissertation (the equivalent of two modules). At this level students are likely to become more closely involved with front-line departmental research projects run by faculty, and begin to develop their own professional network of contacts within academia and/or beyond.
