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 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.
