I hope you’re well! this is the full instructions for the dissertation — please make sure to follow all of this carefully, as it needs to meet UK university standards.
- The dissertation must be written in British English, using a formal academic tone throughout.
- Please use Harvard referencing, and include the exact page number in all in-text citations — even when paraphrasing. For example: (Smith, 2022: 45).
- You must include at least 25 (more ) high-quality academic sources — these should be peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, or official publications. Avoid websites like Wikipedia or non-academic blogs.
- The structure should be as follows:
- Title
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Literature Review
- Methodology ( important )
- Results / Findings
- Discussion
- Contribution to Knowledge / Field (clearly outline how your work adds value or fills a gap in existing research)
- Conclusion
- References (Harvard style)
Some other key points:
- The writing should show critical thinking ( very important ) and analysis, not just description.
- All claims and arguments must be backed up with proper academic evidence.
- The dissertation must be original and must pass plagiarism checks like Turnitin.
