    I handed in a 15000 word dissertation mid-sept and it took six weeks to hear. From what I hear, this is the norm.

    If you'd rather not contact your supervisor, would you consider asking the course director? They may be able to tell you when the results will be available.

    The length of time it will take for you to find out about your grades will usually depend upon when the exam board(s) meet.

    I did a masters at a UK university and it took 4 months (Sep - Jan) to hear that I passed the dissertation and the course overall. It varies between universities so you should probably email someone. It doesn't have to be your supervisor, it can be one of your supervisor's colleagues that maybe lectured you. They will probably have supervised masters students this year too and shoud know when the exam board meets.
