For university tutors and post-graduates studying for their Master's Thesis

A Master's dissertation is different from an academic essay; yet often post-graduate students are expected to make the transition without guidance. This guide brings together advice from a team of experts, drawn from a number of UK universities. Chapters cover: planning/organising a thesis; understanding the role of theory; constructing and interpreting qualitative data; analysing quantitative data; writing; legal and ethical issues; the submission and examination process and publishing. The book includes one-minute summaries, case studies, discussion points and questions and answers.

Other key areas covered include:

• the 3 essential questions in planning a thesis
• the 4 different types of interview
• confidentiality and copyright issues
• the 7 stages of the research process
• pre- and researcher-constructed data
