Synopsis

This step-by-step guide to the writing journey of a geography dissertation provides guidance and reassurance on the foundational aspects of the dissertation. This guide will also support students in focussing their time and energy on the substantive components and concerns of their individual work.

It is no surprise that the dissertation is often a cause of stress and anxiety for students. Much of this is linked to students’ struggles around questions and concerns about how to structure the work, what content should go in which chapter, the purpose, structure, and content of each chapter, how to meet the word limit, and other similar considerations. This text addresses in detail these common areas of concern, covering not only guidance on how to develop a writing strategy that suits the individual but also guidance on writing style to help students convey their breadth and depth of knowledge within the word limit of a dissertation, as well as providing a chapter-by-chapter guidance on purpose and content.

Written in a clear, accessible, and engaging style, this detailed guide will empower students to understand and deliver a successful dissertation. An invaluable resource for undergraduates, it will also reduce the burden on supervisors from commonly asked questions. In addition, the author presents advice on meeting the expectations of markers and how to use the dissertation in the job market.
