Dissertations and Project Reports

A Step by Step Guide
This interactive and student-friendly companion helps readers to take charge of their research journey and shows exactly what’s required to produce a top-level dissertation or project – from initial planning right through to research, analysis and writing.

Bestselling author Stella Cottrell taps into her tried and tested formula for learning and brings students the essential guide to producing top-quality dissertations and project reports.

The book breaks down this process into manageable chunks and covers everything from preparation and planning through to conducting research and writing up the finished article. Packed with dozens of hands-on activities and quotes from real students, this book demystifies dissertations and project reports and helps ensure that the process is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. The second edition has been updated to provide guidance on working effectively with AI tools as part of the research process. It also features additional material on delivering presentations and preparing for an oral exam. Recognising that the process of completing a research project can be stressful, the second edition contains a brand new chapter on self-care and managing wellbeing.

This is an invaluable resource for students of all levels embarking on a dissertation, project report or other piece of extended writing. Its interdisciplinary approach means it is the ideal companion for students, regardless of the subject they are studying.
