  1. demonstrate an understanding of research methods appropriate to the field of study; and
  2. demonstrate critical investigation and evaluation of the topic of research; and
  3. constitute an independent and original contribution to knowledge; and
  4. demonstrate the candidate's ability to undertake further research without supervision. The text of the thesis should not normally exceed 80,000 words (excluding ancillary data)
