DISSERTATIONS
Final Year

01. Submit draft dissertation
You have the opportunity to submit a draft dissertation at the end of week 6, and receive feedback prior to your final submission. We advise you submit a full draft if possible to allow your supervisor to provide the most effective feedback. Partial drafts are also accepted, but feedback will obviously be limited in this case.
You can expect detailed feedback on a draft of your dissertation by week 9 if you submit it by the week 6 deadline. After this point, you can expect your supervisor to answer specific questions (e.g. clarification of methods, interpretation of a result, or the content of a figure/table), but not to comment on full sections of your dissertation.
Deadline: Midnight 10.03.2024
Submit: Blackboard, GES Dissertation Support Area

02. Submit final dissertation
Your dissertation should use the IMRaD structure, the most prominent norm for the structure of a scientific report, where IMRAD is an acronym for introduction, methods, results, and discussion.
Your final dissertation is worth 100% of module EGM503, and 20 credits, the same as all other 5 final year modules.
Your dissertation is double blind-marked; by your supervisor and another member of academic staff with similar teaching/research interests. The process is moderated by the Dissertaiton Co-ordinator and the External Examiner.
Detailed guidelines are provided in the Dissertation Handbook.
