Dissertation walks for master’s students
During the Summer months, the Academic Skills Centre offers master's dissertation walks. Enjoy a 45 minute walk through Mile End Park while you talk through your project with a tutor. The walks are based on the theory that blue and green spaces foster creativity and help generate creative thinking and are designed to work alongside advice given by your dissertation supervisors.
Further support
We run a programme of workshops supporting students doing dissertations. Topics covered include planning, writing, and editing your project, and using SPSS to generate statistics. For more details, and to book, please see our workshops page.
If there are no sessions running at the current time it it still possible to get support by booking a one-to-one appointment, or checking out our online study resources.
You can also access support with academic writing from Studiosity, which is available to all QMUL students.
I have received my dissertation feedback recently. This was the best score that I received throughout the study period! Thank you again! I could not have achieved it without your help— Postgraduate student
