An undergraduate dissertation is your opportunity to engage with geographical research, first-hand. But completing a student project can be a stressful and complex process. Your Human Geography Dissertation breaks the task down into three helpful stages:

Designing: Deciding on your approach, your topic and your research question, and 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

With information and task boxes, soundbites offering student insight and guidance, and links to online materials, this book offers a complete and accessible overview of the key skills needed to prepare, research, and write a successful human geography dissertation.
