Advanced
Examination
Candidates
are required to submit a dissertation of around 10,000 words (which
excludes appendices, etc) on a topic previously approved by the
Examinations Board by means of submission of a short synopsis. On
approval of the synopsis, the candidate has THREE YEARS to complete
the work and submit the dissertation.
NOTE:
The dissertation is expected to demonstrate a rational progression
from collected material via analysis and/or commentary through to
one or more conclusions. What is NOT required is work which is solely
a catalogue, no matter how exhaustive or well presented. It is permissible
for a candidate to have a Study Director to provide general guidance
and advice and, indeed, this is recommended to all candidates.
The
first step towards taking (or learning more about) one of the examinations
is to contact the Secretary at the Society at:
The Heraldry Society, PO Box 772, Guildford, Surrey, GU3 3ZX
