You are probably at the stage now where you have looked through numerous guides on how to write a dissertation at university. You may be confused over the number of different points of view that these guides provide and thus may be a little confused. You are probably then thinking, how do I actually structure my dissertation? Does the rationale come before or after the methodology? This short article will show you an accepted structure that colleges and universities will encourage you to use to complete your dissertation paper.

Dissertation Abstract – the abstract provides a synopsis of the whole research paper and will present the objectives and outcomes/conclusions of the research. You don’t need to write over 200 words for this part, but these 200 words should be concise and to the point.

Contents – will list the main parts of the dissertation, with subsections, and will have page numbers for these sections. You should aim to have the different areas of your work under different headings. Also, many students prefer to create a rough draft of the contents page as a structural plan to help them include everything in their research paper. This can help some students write more effectively and on topic.

Dissertation Introduction – you should think of this section as a ’setting the scene’ chapter, to introduce the topice and your dissertation as a research paper. Summarizing the conclusions and outcomes of the research itself will be a good idea, as well as providing a summary of the paper and what it contains. Some people will choose to treat the introduction section as a quick snapshot of their research travels. They will provide the introduction, information on what happened, and then a conclusion to the paper.

Literature Review – this chapter of your work will outline all of the previous research that is relevant to your research project. You will review these and construct an argument within to result in a hypothesis or research question. You should also concentrate on the most important points here, as this is the key area to bring in relevant content.

Methodology Chapter – this section needs to identify the different methods of collecting data and why you should and did choose them. You will specify the different methods that you have chosen for your topic and thus outline how you will collect empirical data for your study. This is the area when you substantiate your argument for using the different methods and allow your reader to understand why these different methods are relevant to the data collection processes in your research.

Data Analysis – here you present your empirical data collected and highlight the main issues which have emerged from your research. You will most probably use graphs, charts and diagrams to illustrate trends and analysis – you should not, however, draw any conclusions at this point. The way to write this section and structure is to show data gathered and set it out so that the data collected could be used independently of your conclusions.

Discussion – as the researcher of your dissertation, this section should be to identify the data that you have analyzed and present your main findings.

Conclusion – commonly though of as the ‘wrapping up’ of your paper, this section is a summary of the main points that you have covered in your research paper. You will need to analyze what your paper contains and then be able to communicate this clearly to the reader. You could also evaluate this actual conclusion too and make recommendations for further analysis or research.

Bibliography – all reference should be listed alphabetically, this doesnt matter whether you have quoted from them or not. You should include the authors name, title, place of publication, publisher and date when including any material in your bibliography.

Appendices – the appendices are a place where you can place extra information so that your dissertation does not become cluttered. It is a place to provide the reader a fuller picture of the information you are writing about, for example, a blank questionnaire that you used.

If you follow this simple design, then you should be able to put together a seamless dissertation thesis. You don’t want your reader to be reading a dissertation paper that is disjointed and that they won’t be able to read easily. You want to lead them on a journey and be able to provide them with a story about your research project. Also, you should make sure you have your work checked by a professional proofreader before you submit it.
