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
