  • Once you are done with the research and planning
    of your dissertation, the most difficult task
    ahead is the actual process of starting to write
    your Master's dissertation. It is necessary to
    formulate the structure of your dissertation
    prior to actually starting to write it. You can
    also take advantage of professional ESL and
    International proofreading services if you are an
    international student!
  • Prior planning can also help you in two ways
    firstly, you will have a clear dissertation
    outline that you can use as a timeline and
    checklist, and secondly it will enable you have a
    clear layout when you actually start writing your
    dissertation, which will simplify the writing
    process.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 1. Plan Structure
  • Plan the structure very clearly, with a
    flowchart that may include leaving gaps for
    content, images, references and diagrams. It will
    help you perceive the project in its entirety,
    making it simpler when you actually start writing.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 2. Clear Intro and Conclusion
  • Your Master's dissertation structure
    should have a clear introduction and an effective
    conclusion. In addition, it should have all the
    required sections your university guidelines
    specifies which may span from a dissertation
    methodology to a bibliography and literature
    review.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 3. Keep Track of Word Limit
  • Always stay within the word limit. You can
    assign a rough word count to each section of the
    structure so that when writing you will stay
    within those words counts for each part.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 4. Explain Primary Points first
  • Structure is the core to clarity and
    meaning. Ensure your primary points and most
    important ideas are mentioned early on and that
    each point runs logically into the next section.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 5. Maintain Readability
  • Readability is the most important aspect
    of any document. Irrespective of whether it may
    an undergraduate or Master's Dissertation, the
    examiner will always prefer a dissertation that
    is well explained and easily readable. For this,
    write short paragraphs and always introduce a new
    point in a new paragraph.

Structure Tips to Consider
  • 6. Use Numbering and Bullet Points
  • Use bullet points and numbering to
    delineate your structure and keep it interesting.
    It is specifically helpful in presenting lists,
    findings or major points.

9
Structure Tips to Consider
  • 7. Use Signpost Sentences
  • You must make use of signpost sentences to
    clearly explain to the reader what each paragraph
    or section emphasises. These will guide them
    through your dissertation structure.

10
Structure Tips to Consider
  • 8. Refer forward and back
  • You can also refer forward or back, using
    phrases such as as earlier explained or this
    will be discussed further later. It will help to
    increase the significance and strength of your
    structure.

11
  • Ultimately, just remember that a powerful and
    clear structure is the key to writing an
    effective dissertation and obtaining a top grade.
    You can also ask others to look at your
    dissertation structure and help you understand
    where the vague areas are and where the structure
    is weak or strong this will help you to spot
    anything you might have overlooked earlier.
