A List Of Catchy Postgraduate Dissertation Topics


It's time. You can't ignore the matter any longer. It's here. Dissertation time! Take your head out of the sand because you need to start thinking. You need to know what topic to pick. You need to know what questions you're going to ask and what conclusions you could hope to achieve within that topic, and you need to make the title catchy too! It may seem like a tall task, but hey- who said a postgraduate dissertation was supposed to be easy? With hard work, organization, original thinking and well written and proofed work, you can't go wrong. Just take things step by step.

So, the first step is knowing what that all-important topic and title should be. Ask yourself: what issues am I most passionate about? What do I know a lot about? Can I obtain the necessary background information to shape my essay intentions fully?

The best postgraduate dissertations are original in either topic or the way the topic is explored, ones that are written with passion and knowledge about the subject, and ones which give the reader not only a full understanding of the subject at hand, but they also leave them with new ideas, facts and questions.

To get you started on thinking about types of postgraduate dissertation topics and ways of phrasing the title subject, here are a few great examples from various different study subjects:

  • The cyclic patterns of domestic violence: can they ever be stopped?
