The dissertation is an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of your hard work and to apply and
consolidate all the knowledge that you have acquired during your degree program. This
presents a chance to go into a chosen specialist area in which you are interested or enjoy.
Inevitably, course participants will differ in terms of their previous experience with academic
research and in their ability and commitment to their dissertation, whilst members of the
teaching staff can also have varying degrees of experience in supervising dissertations and
have different ideas about and expectations for research. This practical guide is an attempt at
reconciling these differences and at standardizing the process of producing a dissertation.
This is simply a guide, not a prescription for every detail of the work, but we hope that our
advice will be of value to you. In the final analysis the dissertation is your work, done in your
way, expressing your views, conclusions and recommendations.
