Dissertation Topics

Top tips for choosing a dissertation topic...

Write down ideas in advance If you get into the habit of writing down any ideas or interesting issues that you come across in the news or magazines, in your daily life or in your studies, you'll have plenty to go on when it comes to choosing a dissertation topic.

Review your ideas critically Are your ideas appealing to you? Would you want to read a paper on this subject? How much practical value do they have? If they add nothing further to the material that is there already, this will be very little. If they are merely a summary of everything you know about a particular issue, they are not really research and are of little use. What significance will findings in your chosen area of research have? Are the results you produce worth someone's time to explore?

Discuss your ideas with your tutor Your tutor or lecturer will have a wealth of experience in dealing with choice of dissertation topic. Ask their help take your shortlist of subjects with brief notes to them. They may be able to modify or adapt your ideas.

Broaden or narrow your dissertation topic You need to make sure that you're not writing too generally, but you also need to make sure the topic is not so narrow that you can't find any existing material to analyse. You may need to be flexible while working over your paper, adjusting the topic as you go -broad topics can turn out to be too vague, without any particular focus, while the narrow ones will not suggest sufficient field for investigation, and so be ready for later adjustment.

Try and pick something relatively unique You may not be working for your PhD but chosing something fairly unique will make your paper more interesting and readable. If you do something that 30 other people in your year are doing, you can guarantee that whoever gets to mark your paper will be ready to throw it out the window and not so ready to award a great grade, having read the other 30 similar papers prior to reviewing yours.
