• This session looks at the structure of a thesis and how to tackle writing it effectively for the reader i.e. the examiner.
• ‘Candidates are more likely to complete in a timely manner if they direct their attention to the examiner’s requirements – in particular to the presentation of the key conclusions, their significance and the extent to which they are original.’
