"The collaborative dissertation was by far the most useful, enjoyable and interesting period of my degree. It was a fantastic opportunity to make my research matter and to contribute to real-world policy debate. I am in no doubt that the knowledge, skills and network that I have gained from the process has given me an excellent foundation to my career in social housing development and regeneration”

- Conor Watt,  MSc City Planning and Real Estate Development

"Hosting a collaborative dissertation gave us an opportunity to explore an area of policy into practice which had come up several times over the years but wasn’t sufficiently core to merit staff capacity being allocated to cover it. The student worked hard and conscientiously and opened up new insights into how policy intentions translate into practice."
