Dissertation and Thesis Clinics in July & August 2022

By Louise Pollock, on 9 June 2022

Need help with your dissertation or thesis?

Digital Skills Development and Library Skills are running six weekly dissertation and thesis clinics throughout July and August. There is no need to book, just turn up. Staff can help with formatting your dissertation, using statistical software and bibliographic referencing using Word, LaTeX, SPSS, R, NatBib, Endnote, Mendeley and Zotero.

The clinics will take place on the following dates/times*:

13th July from 14:00-16:00 19th July from 10:00-12:00 27th July from 14:00-16:00 2nd August from 10:00-12:00 10th August from 14:00-16:00 16th August from 10:00-12:00

*Please note that if we have to cancel any sessions due to unforeseen circumstances we will update the details on our Moodle course so please check on the day before travelling/joining.

What to expect

Staff are able to help with a wide range of software but we can’t promise that we will be able to answer every question and support is on a ‘best efforts’ basis. We can respond to specific queries or guide you as to which software to use but we can’t provide individual training on how to use the software.  If you need training you will be directed to self-paced materials or scheduled courses.

We cannot provide answers to and support for academic questions, only for digital skills.  If you don’t know for example what statistical method you should be using, we cannot help you.

Please note that our usual Drop in terms and conditions apply so please check these for full details.

How to access

Our clinics will be held remotely via Moodle using Microsoft Teams (MS Teams) and we are delighted to also offer support on campus in room 501 (5th floor)  Institute of Archaeology . So you have the choice to either join the session remotely or in person at the same date and time. For more information on upcoming dates/times and access to the MS Teams session, please enrol on our ISD Digital Skills Development Moodle course and visit the ‘Dissertation and Thesis Clinics – July/August 2022’ section .  

Additional resources

Library Services have developed a useful guide to resources and support for undertaking dissertations or research projects which covers all stages of the research process.

How do I sign up to the 13th? I have just started my introduction and very new to PhD life so thought it may be useful as I have some, dare i say it quiet time! I would like to attend via MS Teams.

Hi Mollie, Thanks for your query- you don’t need to book on just turn up online or in person. Please see our moodle course page for more details. Louise.

Hi I intend to attend physically on Tuesday 19th at 10:00 In my mid seventies, I am the oldest student on my Masters degree. Consequently the least tech-aware, so this clinic could be most helpful. My subject is non scientific, in the realm of politics and international relations and I am writing my dissertation in Word, as the program is familiar to me. Is there an approach or a program you would advise a candidate like me to use? Would this be the best forum for me to address these issues? Best regards Mark

Hi there Mark, thanks for your comments. We’ll see you there on the 19th July. I’ve flagged your comments to the trainer in the meantime. You may like to try out LinkedIn learning for word courses- free at the moment for UCL staff https://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/linkedin-learning They have some great MS Word courses if you’d like to learn it in more detail.

Have decided not to attend physically give heat problems. How do I log into teams?

Hi there Mark, the access to the teams link is via our moodle course page. I’ve emailed you some info in the meantime. Louise.

The UCL MSc Finance programme is a specialist Master’s degree designed for those targeting finance as a professional career.

This full-time programme is delivered by UCL School of Management and UCL’s Department of Economics, providing a study of finance underpinned by a blend of quantitative and qualitative components. It is based in UCL School of Management’s home in Canary Wharf, the heart of London’s dynamic financial centre. It aims to provide individuals with the knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to engage with specialist roles in the modern global financial industry. Such roles are likely to be within a range of organisations, including but not limited to; commercial banks, investment banks, asset management companies, hedge funds and private equity firms, insurance companies, credit rating agencies, fintech firms, broker/dealers, and boutique financial advisory companies. 

All participants study four core modules in Term 1, providing a robust quantitative underpinning in key areas of finance. In Term 2, a further two core modules are studied, again reflecting a quantitative thrust. An elective portfolio is offered, with four elective modules which can be undertaken in Term 2 and/or Term 3. The elective modules enable participants to develop their interests in a number of specialist areas. Additionally, in Term 3 and during the summer, participants engage in the design, execution and delivery of a finance research project which will be supported by a compulsory 10-hour research methods module.

The optional modules listed are subject to change each year and are indicative only. Optional modules can change for a variety of reasons including but not limited to updated learning outcomes, lack of demand and resourcing. For questions about optional modules, please contact us at:  [email protected] . The optional modules marked with an * are delivered by other programmes within the School of Management and are subject to availbility.  

The syllabus for this programme takes place across three terms and the summer, and is outlined below. 

You can learn more about some of our modules on our YouTube channel .

The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures and seminars. Assessment is through written examinations, individual/group coursework, and a 7,500-word dissertation. 

Each taught module in Terms 1 and 2 is delivered over 10 weeks, with 3 contact hours per week comprising lecture content and interactive components. Optional modules in Term 3 are delivered intensively with 10 x 3-hour sessions over a period of 5 weeks.  

In addition, students spend approximately 7-12 hours a week for each module on assessment and independent study to further develop the skills and knowledge covered in lectures and seminars.  

The total number of weekly hours will vary according to the module and the weekly activities being undertaken.   

Programme dates

This programme is full-time for one year, starting in September 2024 and ending in September 2025.

All students must be in London prior to 23 September 2024, which is the first day of the first term.

Core and optional module lectures, and any workshops, normally take place on weekdays between 08:00 – 21.00 hours but may be scheduled for weekends, especially on Saturdays.

Applications

Student profile, who is this programme designed for.

If you are passionate about finance and want to push yourself in your quest to forge a career in finance, or want to develop your knowledge of finance, this programme will be instrumental in achieving your goals.

MSc Finance students are expected to have basic knowledge in financial mathematics and econometrics, and should be motivated to take their knowledge to the next level. To get to that next level, we expect a great deal from our students, so if you choose to study with us, you can expect to be working hard, challenging yourself as we challenge you, and regularly finding yourself out of your comfort zone.

Our students come from different academic backgrounds including economics, finance, mathematics, mathematical economics, econometrics, economic theory, statistics, engineering, or any combination of thereof. Degrees from other disciplines may be considered if the applicant has a background in mathematics or econometrics.

While we do welcome students from a wide variety of backgrounds onto the programme, we stress to our applicants that this programme is highly mathematical and quantitative, so you should be prepared to be pushed in these areas. Should you be admitted onto the programme, you may wish to do some extra preparation in these areas to ensure your basic knowledge is on par with your peers. You can ask our team for more information about what to prepare for.

Academic Entry Requirement

• A quantitative undergraduate degree at 2:1 Honours (or equivalent) from a recognised university. International students can find their international equivalency on the  UCL international students website.
• Degrees in economics, financial economics, finance, mathematics, management science or statistics are preferred. Degrees in business, accounting, engineering and related fields are also considered. 
• GMAT/GRE are not required for MSc Finance.
• Applicants with a degree that is not in a highly quantitative discipline are encouraged to submit a GMAT or GRE result. A score of at least 43/60 in the quantitative section of GMAT, or 162 in the quantitative section of GRE will add weight to an application.

English Language Requirement

• The English language level for this programme is:  Level 2 .
• Further information can be found on our  English language requirements page.

Professional statement

A professional statement is a key component of the application process and must accompany the initial application. The statement will capture and articulate the motivation to pursue the MSc Finance programme, demonstrating a clear interest in finance and economics, feeding into a statement of well-researched and grounded, short and long-term professional and personal objectives. We also require a copy of your CV.

Applicants who meet the entry requirements and provide an appropriate professional statement will be reviewed. Those considered eligible for the next stage will be invited to an online video interview, with the invitation sent by email from Kira Talent. 

Relevant work experience

Demonstration of an appropriate academic background is essential. Experience in the finance and finance-related sector is beneficial but is not a prerequisite. Applications with work experience in fields other than finance will be considered on their merits.

International profile

Applicants should highlight any international experience they have, including international exchanges, trips, internships, fluency in languages other than their native one, and/or interest in other cultures. These attributes would be advantageous because applicants are likely to be working in a highly diverse and international environment.

Each semester has a deadline for the initial submission of theses and dissertations to ProQuest.  The deadline is generally two weeks prior to the final deadline.  Plan your defense accordingly. The document submitted to ProQuest is expected to be a final version, meaning it has been successfully defended, corrections the committee wants have been made, and there are no more content changes. 

Students are highly encouraged to read and follow the Thesis and Dissertation information available on the Graduate School’s website at:  https://grad.msu.edu/etd . This site gives instructions on formatting, required paperwork, and how to submit to ProQuest.

The Graduate School will not accept documents for review for the current semester after 5:00PM ET on the submission deadline date.

The Naughton/Clift-Matthews Global Health Fund 2024

The Naughton/Clift-Matthews Global Health Fund is now open for applications from staff based at IGH. This small grant scheme provides between £5,000 and £10,000 to fund projects involving primary data collection or secondary data analyses with at least one tangible output. Projects are expected to last one year.  The aim is to provide pump priming for projects that could lead to competitive funding applications.  Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to apply and it is strongly encouraged that they work closely with senior staff to develop their applications.
