Around the world every year very many students have to complete
dissertations or theses as part of their undergraduate or masters
studies in tourism and related subjects. Often this substantial
piece of self-directed work is the culmination of their programmes.
More than just a means to consolidate their final grades, it is
also an exciting chance to research a topic of their choosing and a
potential gateway to more advanced study as well as job offers and
future career paths.
Yet for all these reasons, many students view the dissertation
as a tricky challenge. This comprehensive book intends to take the
stress and anxiety out of doing a dissertation in tourism studies
and related disciplines. The process is examined from the
germination of an idea to the submission and assessment of the
final document. Written primarily for students conducting
independent research for the first time, this book offers simple
advice and a clear framework which students can adopt even in more
advanced studies at masters and doctoral level. This book debunks
popular myths, and aims to overcome common pitfalls. It focuses on
the aims and objectives as the DNA of every dissertation. Rather
than view it as a single, overwhelming project, the dissertation is
presented as a series of more modest, manageable yet crucially
inter-linked tasks that all students can successfully complete
through careful preparation and effective time management.
Dissertations are not to be underestimated and they demand great
care and attention, but they can also be immensely rewarding and
enriching experiences academically and personally. This jargon free
book is also written with overseas students specifically in mind,
drawing directly on our overseas students experiences. This
valuable resource contains start of chapter learning objectives and
end of chapter checklists, as well as numerous boxed case studies,
to further help assist students through their dissertation.
