Year 2, Semester 2 (3rd/4th Mobility University)

In the final semester of the double degree programme, students will work on and complete their dissertation. Please refer to the guidelines listed under the MA Thesis tab for further details on the requirements.

Students who are not completing a fourth mobility can choose to stay in the university of their third mobility, or they can opt to return to either Glasgow or Tartu if this is in their academic interests. Neither of these options are considered as fourth mobility.

Additional Fourth Mobility for dissertation research

Where deemed appropriate, students can request a fourth mobility to another partner university in order to complete essential field-work for their thesis. This, however, must be approved in Year 1. Students who wish to complete a fourth mobility period should email Dr Heiko Pääbo.

Fourth mobility periods are not compulsory, but can be requested based on your dissertation research interests. Fourth mobility must have sound academic value and can take place with a Consortium partner. The most common and persuasive reason to grant fourth mobilities will be the need to conduct field research for the dissertation. Heiko Pääbo will consult with supervisors and partners and then advise students of their decision, which will be final. Please note that students should make their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

Nominated supervisors at fourth mobility partners serve as academic contacts for general advice and support but are not involved directly in supervision.

The fourth Mobility will take place in year 2, semester 2. The exact timing, however, is flexible to fit in with individual student needs and their double degree partner timetables. An official period of mobility is 90 consecutive days.
