The purpose of the dissertation is:


1. To extend the students' knowledge considerably in their chosen topic.
2. To develop the skills required for originality and creativity of thinking in
Information Technology.
3. To contribute to the existing body of knowledge of Information Technology.

The dissertation will normally contain:


1. A clear indication, at appropriate stages, of original and creative elements. The level of
originality expected is likely to include the application of existing techniques to new
environments, the use of original materials, the re-working of existing materials, and the
use of comparative approaches to the provision of information technology;
2. A discussion of its scope and aims, and its theoretical and professional significance,
including a discussion of the context in which the problem is seen as important;
3. An analysis of the topic within a critical review of the relevant literature;
4. An evaluation of methods used in the dissertation, their reliability, validity, and a
comparison with alternative methods;
5. An account of the process of obtaining the data required for the dissertation and the
results obtained;
6. An analysis of the results of the dissertation to include a discussion of their significance,
their relationship to other research, and any methodological or theoretical implications;
and
7. The relationship of the findings to existing professional understanding and, where
appropriate, potential implementation difficulties.

It is not intended to restrict students to a precisely defined format for the dissertation but it should
follow the standard practices of dissertation writing. Although a written report will normally be
expected, it should be accompanied by soft copy on CD.
