Dissertation

Here are some useful resources to help guide you through your Dissertation:

General Reminders:

  • Dissertations should be between 2500 and 3000 words.
  • Use of secondary Critical Perspectives is advisable in the support of your line of argument
  • Sources which directly impact on your dissertation need to be fully referenced (Primary and Secondary sources) using footnotes and a Bibliography – see guide below.
  • The dissertation must be clearly comparative
  • Maintain a clear line of argument throughout – should be related to your proposal (what you have set out to prove)
  • Analysis needs to be detailed and supported with clear textual evidence
  • Make sure your stance is evaluative and genuinely engages with the texts and their key concerns
