ABSTRACT
The earlier you can set your topic the better; much time can be wasted by swapping topics from one week to the next. However, it is important to know that the topic is of interest to you and also that there are sources available in the library to assist you in your research, particularly if you plan to undertake library-based research. You also need to make sure that your topic is one with which your supervisor is familiar and so you should chose your topic carefully and in conjunction with your supervisor.
