The thesis option for this course requires: submission of a suitable topic for a thesis or for two articles. For information to assist with a preparation of a minor thesis proposal, see the Guidelines for preparing a Minor Thesis proposal. A dissertation of 20,000 to 35,000 words or two major articles of 10,000 to 15,000 words each, suitable for publication in a learned legal journal.

Once final approval is obtained, a supervisor is appointed and supervision is carried out in accordance with the Law School's Code of Supervisory Practice.
