An undergraduate dissertation is your opportunity to engage with geographical research, first-hand. Yet, completing a student project can be a stressful and complex process. Your Human Geography Dissertation: Designing, Doing, Delivering organizes the project into three helpful stages:
- Designing: Deciding on your approach, your topic, and your research question, while also ensuring your project is feasible
- Doing: Situating your research and selecting the best methods for your dissertation project
- Delivering: Dealing with data and writing up your findings
