The big question
Your first problem is to find something to research (the research question), that will be robust and provide an opportunity to score high marks. Our suggestions will help you find a research question which will increase your chances of good marks whilst minimising the cost of earning these marks. Sounds too good to be true?
 
Project Management
Good project management makes the difference between producing a good dissertation on time, and getting completely lost. The guide to project management helps you to make it a positive experience from day 1.
 
Playing by the rules
It is easy to lose valuable marks by ignoring the rules of the dissertation. You break the rules at your peril! This section highlights some of the key points that you need to know.
 
Citations and references
Every dissertation builds on the work of others. As you carry out your literature search, you'll need to record your references accurately. When you write up your dissertation, you must follow the rules for acknowledging your sources, and our guide to referencing points the way.

  A useful tip...
get started early - the earlier you get planning and reading, the easier it is to fit what you have to do into the time available.
