4th year students

 

Congratulations on being finished!

See you at graduation!!!

 

 

NB: The word count includes everything except the bibliography -- that means it includes all notes, the table of contents, and any acknowledgements.

 

 

How to hand in the dissertation:

  • YOU MUST HAND IN TWO HARD COPIES OF THE DISSERTATION, WITH THE APPROPRIATE FORM; MAKE SURE YOU ONLY PUT YOUR EXAM NUMBER ON THE COVER PAGE.

 

PLEASE DO NOT BIND ANY FORMS INTO THE DISSERTATION -- THE FORMS NEED TO BE SEPARATE!

 

  • YOU MUST ALSO PROVIDE AN ELECTRONIC COPY; THE DROPBOX FOR THIS -- AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SUBMIT THE ELECTRONIC VERSION -- ARE AVAILABLE ON WEBCT.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The Copy Centre in the basement of DHT is moving: from 12 March it will be located at 13 Infirmary Street.

Requesting Feedback on your Dissertation


Dissertation marks are not finalised until the meeting of the History/Classics/Archaeology Examination Board in June of each year. After that meeting, you can ask to see the feedback comments made by markers on your Dissertation, and can make an appointment to discuss these comments with your Supervisor. (If your Supervisor is no longer in Edinburgh, the Dissertation Coordinator should be able to suggest another member of staff you can talk to instead.) Requests to view markers' comments should be made to Undergraduate Reception in the first instance, or by emailing your Dissertation Secretary.

 

The dissertation database is now live; click here to access old dissertations. Examples of past dissertations can also be viewed in the Undergraduate Reception (G08); ask at the desk for the Classics samples.

 

 

3rd year students:

 

Thank you for submitting your proposals; you will be notified at your home address in the summer (July) about your supervisor(s). Please use the summer to get started on your research; see the outline timetable below.
