Exploring and Meeting the Challenges of Dissertation Writing

Article update with video of the event

Provided in partnership with Pearson and Dr Kathleen McMillan

An in-depth session covering all aspects of your dissertation

Completing a dissertation involves two phases - selecting and conducting the research or study exercise that provides the content of your work and then writing the text that explains your project and its outcomes. Your dissertation is potentially a highpoint of your academic studies and may well direct your career path and progression over the longer term. So, it's important that you present your work and your competence as a communicator in the best ways possible.

This video helps you do this:

  • by exploring the starting points of the process as you identify the topic of your study, and
  • by presenting ways in which you can develop your material organically to produce a text that is both well-constructed and written in the style expected at university level.
