Methodology
The research will be based upon secondary research, on academic sources.

Introduction:
A good introduction should achieve all of the following:
• define the subject and indicate broadly its extent
• indicate the main theme of the work
• state clearly the aims of the dissertation
8
• provide background information which the reader will need (this includes defining
technical terms or words which are to be used in a special sense)
• indicate the structure of the main chapters
• offer a broad summary of the main argument(s)
(b) Main Chapters: Concentrate on writing one chapter at a time. In each
chapter it may be necessary to do all or some, of the following:
• undertake a literature review (NB: There are strong arguments for NOT having a
separate literature review in the dissertation, which may break up the development
of an argument. You should talk to your supervisor(s) about this.)
• describe methodology used and why
• state the `facts’ (indicating sources);
• analyse and evaluate these `facts’;
• state any conclusions or recommendations from the analysis
Towards the end of each chapter try to give a pointer towards the next section, in the
form of a short ‘mini-conclusion’, thus giving continuity to the dissertation as a whole.
Be wary about the excessive use of footnotes. These can be ful if you need to
include detail useful for the reader but not essential to the flow of the argument, but
otherwise should be minimised.
If statistical material is included ensure that it is presented in the most concise way
possible. Simple numbers are often better dealt with in the text rather than a separate
table. Do not confuse the reader with pages of statistics – supplementary data can be
included in appendices at the end of the dissertation, but the use of these should be
sparing and relevant.
(c) Conclusion: This should be kept reasonably brief and as cogent as possible. It should do
all or some of the following:
• summarise the findings and inferences;
• make recommendations/conclusions/predictions based on the above;
• refer back to the theoretical/analytical framework and evaluate this in light of the
findings
• emphasise the significance of the subject matter;
• refer briefly to any wider consideration or implications outside the limits that have
been set by the dissertation but on which the study may have a bearing .
