Departments use several overlapping names for evidence-led reviews, and students should concentrate on the required work rather than become distracted by terminology. At bachelor's and master's level, the central task is to assemble a substantial evidence base and identify what counts as the project's primary or original research. Losing access to a laboratory changes the available methods without removing the need for a defensible research contribution. Master's work differs chiefly in the expected depth of critical analysis and the larger word count available for it.

Literature studies, systematic reviews, and primary research
Different departments may label a literature study as a systematic, systemic, thematic, or prior-research review, but the dissertation still needs enough evidence and a defensible contribution of primary research.
