Create a great dissertation

A dissertation is a big project. It’s a piece of independent research, but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to do it alone! There is plenty of support in your department, among your classmates, and at LSE LIFE—across the entire academic year. We're here to help you get a head start – whether it’s developing skills for writing, reading, and critical thinking; coming up with ideas for research topics; or learning about how to plan and conduct research. Interesting ideas and well-honed research skills make for the most rewarding Master’s dissertations. These require both time and collaboration with others. LSE LIFE is here to help you start early and progress steadily, from Autumn Term all the way to your submission date! (...and don’t worry if you don’t know precisely what you’d like to research right now! Think about it: you haven't even studied half your programme - maybe your inspiration hasn’t revealed itself yet. Book a one-to-one session with an  LSE LIFE Study Adviser  to discuss your ideas.)

Check out some of our suggestions about getting started on your dissertation , or carry on reading below for an outline of the resources we have available.

Research data management team

Are you collecting data as part of your dissertation or thesis? Have you ever wondered how best to organise and back up your data so you don’t have to worry about lost or corrupted files? Whatever questions you have, get in touch with experts on data management who can provide you with guidance and top tips, during the  Research data support one-to-one sessions  every Thursday 4-5pm.

Research ethics team

Does your research involve human participants or personal data through which individuals could be identified? If so, you’ll need to think about ethics of working with participants, informed consent, and protecting data. Visit the  Research data support one-to-one sessions  every Thursday 4-5pm for personalised advice on any of these aspects. 

Events and resources

The  LSE LIFE Moodle page  has resources to help you with many of the tasks you'll encounter in completing your dissertation project. Look for all our resources under the Create a great dissertation heading. Some highlights include:

• Planning your dissertation research. An introduction to some key project management techniques, including anticipating problems, to help you plan your dissertation research, work out your schedule and keep your research on track.
• Planning and conducting interviews.  Practical tips on recruiting interviewees, using audio/video recording, and developing interview questions.
• Tips for conducting thematic analysis . You've collected your qualitative data, now you want to analyse the underlying themes. Get practical advice on how to prepare your data and proceed with identifying, analysing, and reporting the patterns you find.
• Structuring your dissertation.  “How many words should the literature review have?” There is no one correct way to put together the written presentation of your research and discoveries, but you can think about what belongs in the various sections of a dissertation and build the foundation for your dissertation.

We offer a number of events to help you with your dissertation work throughout the academic year. Remember, you can also book a one-to-one meeting for personalised support with your dissertation.

Our Top Proficient Writers At Your Essays Service

What is a good essay writing service?

Oddly enough, but many people still have not come across a quality service. A large number of users fall for deceivers who take their money without doing their job. And some still fulfill the agreements, but very badly.

A good essay writing service should first of all provide guarantees:

• confidentiality of personal information;
• for the terms of work;
• for the timely transfer of the text to the customer;
• for the previously agreed amount of money.

The company must have a polite support service that will competently advise the client, answer all questions and support until the end of the cooperation. Also, the team must get out of conflict situations correctly.

It is necessary to have several payment methods on the site to make it easier for the client to transfer money.

And of course, only highly qualified writers with a philological education should be present in the team, who will not make spelling and punctuation errors in the text, checking all the information and not stealing it from extraneous sites.
