Project Handbook
Almost every question you might have about the main dissertation is answered in the project handbook, available here.
Example Projects
We have selected a variety of student projects from last year covering a wide range of topics and have grouped them based on their mark. Make sure that you look at projects relevant to your unit code:
- Very High First (76+) example projects
- First class (70-75) example projects
- High 2.i (65-68) example projects
Note that these have been anonymised and some pages with identifying information has been removed.
Dissertation Writing
When writing your thesis, we strongly recommend writing it using Latex unless you are confident writing a large document within microsoft word (or equivalent). Large files in Word can cause formatting issues or crashes when saving/loading the project file.
