How to write 
a dissertation 
www.myassignmenthelp.net
How to produce a good dissertation 
• Start thinking early on about what you would like 
to write about. Consult as soon as possible with 
your supervisor for advice on the expected scope 
of your dissertation. Remember that you will not 
simply be writing about “IT in Primary 
Education”, but instead will be focussing on 
specific aspects, perhaps trying to solve a 
problem, querying currently held beliefs, or 
arguing a particular case or “thesis”.
Structure of dissertation 
Title page 
• Title, your name, course name, date, name of supervisor 
Abstract 
• One paragraph summarising the whole dissertation 
Acknowledgements 
• Thanks to those who have assisted you 
Table of contents 
• Chapters and/or sections & sub-sections with page numbers 
Table of figures 
• If appropriate
Structure of dissertation 
• Introduction 
• A presentation of your question/problem/thesis, with a brief outline of the structure of your 
work 
• Main body/discussion 
• The facts, evidence, analysis, evaluation and discussion. All very well structured: arts/social 
sciences tending towards paragraphs; sciences/engineering towards sections; business a 
mixture of the two. 
• Conclusion/findings 
• Bibliography 
• Appendices
Content and Style 
• Your dissertation is a piece of academic work; an intellectual achievement. You are not 
expected to produce something completely original, but instead, to should show 
understanding of key issues and theories; evidence of thought and insight; critical analysis 
and evaluation, and a demonstration that you have been able to research a topic within your 
professional domain and present your findings appropriately. Simple description is not 
enough, and will result in a low mark. 
• You should write in an appropriate academic style, avoiding colloquialisms, contractions, 
phrasal verbs and vagueness. You do not need, however, to use long, over-formal vocabulary: 
you should aim at all times for clear and concise expression.
Content and Style 
• You should normally avoid too much personal language (“I”, “my” etc), although opinions 
on this vary. As a rule of thumb, only use it when you are describing what you actually did 
and when you are expressing personal opinions, probably in your conclusion. Don’t refer to 
yourself as “we” unless you are describing some sort of groupwork, and don’t refer to 
yourself as “the author”: it’s pompous and confusing. 
• Avoid using “he/she”, “her/his” etc. The best way to avoid this and still be non-sexist is to 
make the subject plural whenever possible. (For example, “Teachers should always be in 
control of their class”.)
What is a Postgraduate Dissertation ? 
• Useful contribution to knowledge ! 
• Readers will ask 
• what is the question here ? 
• is it a good question ? 
• is it adequately answered ? 
• is there a contribution to previous knowledge?
Justifying your Efforts 
• Clearly state the question 
• Originality proven by? 
• thorough review of topic and closely related topics 
• reference review to demonstrate that 
• question not previously answered 
• it is worth answering
Referencing 
• Acknowledgement of your sources is a vital and integral 
part of the academic process. If you do not do this, 
particularly at dissertation/postgraduate level, you could be 
accused of plagiarism. 
• By the time you do your dissertation you should be very 
clear on how to do this. If not, check with course tutors or 
in course literature what the preferred method is (normally 
at Birmingham City University it is the “Harvard 
Method”) and make sure you know how to use it. It can be 
a complicated area, but there are many guides and staff to 
help you (us, for example).
