My Account of Preparing an MA Dissertation for Publication

About Suzannah Harniman

Until around 10 years ago, I was employed as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in a veterinary hospital where I worked mostly with horses. Whilst in this role, was responsible for mentoring student veterinary nurses and it was this which sparked my interest in teaching. 

In 2014, I relocated to rural Gloucestershire and joined the Veterinary Nursing team at Hartpury University where I am now a Senior Lecturer and Programme Manager. Since joining the team at Hartpury I have the opportunity to gain various qualifications, including the one I am most proud of which is my MA Education, with distinction, from UWE Bristol. It is my experiences of preparing my dissertation project for publication that I am going to share. 

My experience of preparing my dissertation research for publication 

I decided that I wanted to share the findings of my research because educational research relating specifically to veterinary nursing is very limited. There was also no previous published research that I was aware of which applied a theory of motivation to analyse the choices that students make. 

After deciding to publish my work the first thing I needed to consider was which journal I should send it to. I settled on the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education because it is the only veterinary journal that focuses specifically on educational research and the readers are likely to be fellow veterinary educators. 

Before getting started on preparing my manuscript, I read the author guidance, provided by the journal, and made three discoveries. The first was that the preferred word limit was 4000 words (my dissertation was 20,000 words), the second was that the journal required Vancouver referencing (the referencing style of my dissertation was UWE Harvard), and the third was that the journal’s preference was that manuscripts were written in the third person (my dissertation was written in the first person). My thoughts were that these issues were going to be time consuming to work through. 

I focused first on the word count issue and made the decision to focus only on my first two research questions, I didn’t feel I could do my findings justice if I included all three and I also had other plans for the findings of my final research question. I started by dramatically cutting the literature review down to around 600 words. I then worked on switching the tense to the third person and removing the information relating to the third research question. Once I had done this, I was still significantly over the word count and had to do some heavy editing without losing the essence of my research. I found this hard because of the effort I had put in to when writing my dissertation, but I kept in mind my desire to share my findings and got on with it. 

Once I was happy with the content of my manuscript, I researched how to do Vancouver referencing and started on the task of reformatting my references, which didn’t take quite as long as I thought it would which was helpful. On reflection, it would have been even quicker to have used reference management software. 

It was then the exam period at work and I had no time to work on my manuscript for a quite a few weeks. Once I had finished my marking, I had a chat with a colleague who is an experienced researcher. She made some useful suggestions. I then carefully proof read my work.

Next I contacted my dissertation supervisor and sent him my manuscript. He gave me some helpful feedback and was supportive of my plan to publish my work. 

The next step was to submit my work. This was relatively simple and I received a polite email from the editor thanking me for submitting my manuscript. I then waited nervously for around a month before receiving my peer reviews. When my peer reviews arrived in my inbox I was pleased to see that my manuscript had been recommended for publication, by both reviewers, with minimal suggested amendments. One of the suggested amendments was to change my title, and to start with I wasn’t sure how I felt about changing my title. However, once I had a think about it, it did make sense to update it and the new title did better reflect the project with just the first two research questions. I was given a month to complete my amendments and resubmit my manuscript. 

Not long after I submitted my revised manuscript, I received a proof copy to review. I pointed out a few amendments and sent it back. 

I wasn’t sure exactly when my article would be published and a few weeks later I received a message from a colleague congratulating me for my publication. I then had a look at my published article. I was pleased to have been through the process and to have shared my findings.

LLM International Law

Please note we are no longer offering this course to new applicants. If you would like information about our alternative course which has been developed and enhanced to replace it, please visit the LLM International Law and Security course page.

Page last updated 21 June 2024

Introduction

The modules available on the LLMs cover a wide range of legal disciplines, to cater for the diverse learning needs of students from the UK, Europe and around the world.

Part of our comprehensive range of LLM programmes, the LLM in International Law offers you an opportunity to study the fundamentals of international law at an advanced level, linking theory to practice.

You will examine the key legal principles and rules underpinning the international legal system, and develop a contextual and critical understanding of key issues in contemporary international law. The depth and breadth of study will equip you well for working either in international law or international organisations.

Diverse choice of modules

Pursuing an LLM allows you to focus in on a particular area of law by delving deep into the subject and undertaking independent research and learning. The modules available cover a diverse range of legal topics, making it possible to tailor the course towards the specific areas of law you wish to explore further.

Teaching backed by the latest research

The School has a thriving research culture and most tutors on our LLMs are active researchers, publishing in leading journals. At the same time, the quality of teaching at Bristol Law School has been recognised by the Quality Assurance Agency as 'excellent'. You can therefore expect to participate in carefully-planned, lively and highly informative sessions designed to give you a deep and thorough grounding in your chosen area of law.

Flexible study options

There are two intakes to the LLMs, one in September and one in January, and you can study with us full or part time.

Watch: The learning and teaching experience

The LLM in International Law consists of nine modules in total, including a dissertation of up to 15,000 words.  

The option modules listed are those that are most likely to be available, but they may be subject to change.

Core modules

• International Law and Institutions (15 credits)
• Research Methods (15 credits).

Option modules

You can either choose five modules from this list, or four from this list plus one of the 15 credit option modules from any of the other LLM courses.

• Contemporary Research Project (15 credits)
• Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility (15 credits)
• European Environmental Policy and Law (15 credits)
• Globalisation and the Law (15 credits)
• International Employment Law (15 credits)
• International Environmental Law (15 credits)
• International Human Rights Law (15 credits)
• International Humanitarian Law (15 credits)
• Natural Resources Law (15 credits)
• World Trade Organisation Law (15 credits).

Dissertation (60 credits):

You will need to write a 15,000 word dissertation. This needs to be an original piece of work. You can satisfy this requirement by:

• carrying out empirical work that has not been done before
• synthesising issues not put together before
• looking at topics that have not been looked at before by people in the discipline
• examining existing knowledge in an original way, or
• bringing new evidence to bear on an old issue.

You don't need to meet all of these criteria. Your dissertation topic must broadly relate to your LLM award.

This structure is for full-time students only. Part-time students study the same modules but the delivery pattern will be different.

The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up to date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world. This may result in changes to the course. If changes to your course are approved, we will inform you.

Learning and Teaching

The flexible nature of the course allows you to study with us full or part time. The course involves both extensive independent research and discussion in the context of workshops, designed to encourage the development of your critical, analytical and reflective skills. You will be expected to prepare for each workshop and to participate actively in discussion with your tutors and peers.

You will also have access to course and module information through our online Blackboard system.

For more details see our glossary of teaching and learning terms .

Full-time attendance

The full-time course takes one year, with approximately six to nine contact hours a week. However, as independent study is fundamental to the course, the total study time should be around 36 hours a week.

Part-time attendance

The part-time route takes two years. You will usually have around four hours of contact with your tutors a week and you should spend between 12 and 18 hours a week studying independently.

Dedicated support

You will receive a high level of support both during your studies and after you have graduated. You will be allocated an LLM academic tutor to support you throughout the course. We also organise events to help you plan your career after the LLM.

Taught modules on the LLM International Law course are assessed through a combination of written coursework assignments and oral presentations. The culmination of the course is a dissertation of up to 15,000 words, which constitutes an original contribution to the corpus of legal knowledge within an area of international law.

For more details see our full glossary of assessment terms .

Pro Bono Unit

You'll have opportunities to engage in  Pro Bono work through your LLM, volunteering your time to help the local community.

Supervised by academics and practitioners, you'll work on cases and provide legal advice through projects such as Legal Advocacy Support Project, Elderlaw, the UWE Street Law Programme and Bristol Musicians Advice Service.

Study facilities

Bristol Law School has excellent, state-of-the-art facilities, including a dedicated LLM study room and mock law courtrooms, where you can put your learning into practice.

The Frenchay library offers students 24-hour access with computer room facilities, as well as a wide range of legal resources, including Hein Online, LexisNexis, Westlaw and iLaw. The library is well stocked with electronic and print books, newspapers, journals, government publications, statistics, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, company information, market reports and DVDs.

A £50m project is also underway to build the new Faculty of Business and Law building , which will provide innovative teaching and learning spaces, including two showcase law courts.

Postgraduate support

Our support includes access to fantastic facilities, study tools and career consultants, plus practical help to access everything from funding to childcare.

Careers / Further study

Studying for an LLM provides an ideal opportunity to develop specialist skills that will be favoured by employers, both in the legal world and beyond. It opens up a range of career opportunities and gives our students the edge over other graduates.

The in-depth knowledge you will acquire in a particular area of law will give you a thorough grounding in the subject area and raise your employability prospects, enabling you to become a specialist within your organisation. It is for this reason that many of our LLM graduates choose to go on to complete a PhD or go into teaching and research.

Given the increasingly transnational nature of law, this course is designed to provide you with knowledge and skills which will be attractive to employers both in the UK and beyond. Recent graduates from Bristol Law School have gained positions in local government, solicitors firms, the Ministry of Defence and other organisations including Marks and Spencer plc, Direct Line and Lloyds TSB.

Our award-winning careers service helps you develop your employment potential through career coaching, a vacancy service for internships, placements, jobs, global opportunities, volunteering and community activity plus support for entrepreneurial activity, and access to employer events.

Personal Statement

You are required to complete a personal statement for this course. Please read the  personal statement guidance  carefully and make sure that you answer the questions on the postgraduate application form within the personal statement tabs, keeping to the advised word count.

UWE-Münster Referral Scheme

Münster students should have completed the First State Exam (FSE) and the FFA (English).*

Students admitted under this scheme are exempted three modules by virtue of their prior studies and are offered a flexible pathway studying for a part or the whole of an academic year in Bristol.* Most students choose to study in Bristol in semester one (September only), taking four modules and returning to Münster for semester two.

The Research Methods module in semester two is compulsory and must be studied. This can be done at Bristol or if the student chooses to return to Münster, they can continue to study this module there with online support provided by UWE Bristol.

Students can complete their dissertation over the summer (they are not required to be in Bristol to do this). Supervision can take place online via video and email. *Where students have not completed the FFA (English), they may still gain entry to the LLM. However, in these circumstances, students will need to undertake the full complement of eight modules plus their dissertation and will need to spend one full year in the UK. Students taking this approach may join the programme in either September or January.

UWE Bristol's International College

International students who do not meet the academic or English language requirements to study this course can qualify by completing preparatory study at our International College .

English language support

If you meet the academic requirements but require additional support to take your language skills to the required level, you may be able to attend one of our pre-sessional English courses. Students who successfully complete the pre-sessional course can progress onto their chosen degree course without retaking an IELTS or equivalent.

Read more about our Pre-Sessional English Programme .

English Language Requirement

If English is not your first language, you will also need to demonstrate your English Language proficiency. You should have:

Dissertation Word Count Breakdown

Dissertation Word Count and Breakdown– How to Follow the Assigned Word Limit Easily?

Underwriting or overwriting; are two of the most common errors that students make while composing their dissertations.

That is why it is important to know from the beginning how much the dissertation word count of each of the chapters should be. After you have the details of the word count of each of the sections, you can then design your schedule accordingly.

The dissertation word limit is allotted by the university where you study, and the master’s Dissertation word count may vary from the undergraduate dissertation word count or the Ph.D. dissertation word count.

Mostly the dissertation word length is between 10,000 words to 15,000 words but some may even go up to the level of 30,000 words.

But despite the total dissertation word count allotted, the main problem begins when students have to break down that word ratio into the headings of the dissertation . Here they make the common error of writing more words for a section that can be explained in less count and less count for a section that deserves more words.

So, what is the solution to that problem?

Well, there are many online dissertation word count breakdown calculator websites available that can help you in that aspect. One advantage that they have is that they give an option to select degree level and word count is given accordingly.

• Conduct your own original research that hasn’t been done before.
• You can combine and analyse the issues that have not been discussed before.
• Find a topic for your UWE dissertation that is totally new and has not been explored in your field.
• Have a look at the existing knowledge once again with a fresh perspective.
• Find some new evidence to add to an already existing problem.

Students often face difficulty while attempting such a crucial task with perfection. That’s the reason even the most intelligent students prefer to get assistance from expert dissertation writers  to write their UWE dissertations on LLM.

In this article, we will discuss a comprehensive guide on how to write your LLM dissertation for UWE, along with a checklist, formatting and structure.

What is the Checklist to Follow to Write UWE Dissertation on LLM?

The Master of Laws (LLM) demands students to write a perfect dissertation for UWE which should be according to their format and structure. It means you have to follow your university guidelines from start to end to accomplish this task. For your easiness, the University of the West of England has also provided a thorough checklist about what should be in your dissertation and how to structure it.

The following are some important points that you must follow as it is to write a UWE dissertation on LLM excellently:

Essential Elements of the Dissertation

Like every important document, your thesis or dissertation also consists of some important things that are the core components of your UWE dissertations. The following are some essential parts of your final submission:

1. Title Page

Your title page is the 1st page representing your work, so it must be right according to the given details. You should be careful while writing it because every detail should be in the same order given below:

• Dissertation’s Complete Title: The title of your dissertation represents your work in one of two lines so, it should be precise and concise.
• Your Name: After writing the title, here comes the author’s complete name.
• Degree Information: Here, you need to put your complete degree name, not only the abbreviation for which you are writing your UWE dissertation. For example, master of philosophy, doctorate of philosophy, etc.
• Collaborating Organisation: You should list any organisations you worked with on your research, if any.
• Details about UWE College: The UWE college where you studied.
• Submission Date: It includes the month and year of your final UWE dissertation submission.

2. Abstract

An abstract is a short summary of your whole dissertation, which comes before the final chapters. It is the area that provides a clear overview of the topic and what’s happening inside the whole dissertation to its readers. So, when you start writing your abstract for the UWE dissertation on LLM, keep in mind that they have set a 300-word limit for this summary.

Students often wonder how to summarise their years of hard work on a project in such a short word count. No need to worry about it because your aim here is to describe only the main purpose and parameters of your study. You should focus on the main discoveries and contributions, adding knowledge about the topic. Furthermore, it should be written in the original English language to make it more understandable.

3. Acknowledgments

It is the 3rd important stage of your UWE dissertation where you say thanks to the people who assisted with your research. However, it’s not compulsory to add it here. In acknowledgements, you give thanks to your teachers, fellows, assistants, contributors, and anybody else who helped you with your project.

4. Contents Page

At this stage, you should create a list of all the chapters and parts in your UWE dissertation by creating a “Table of Contents.” This part is crucial for anyone in a hurry to check out the main headings you have discussed on this content page. Moreover, it facilitates readers’ navigation of your writing. What you should add here includes:

• List of chapters as well as any background material.
• Sections that serve as main chapters and subsections that describe your own research work including methodology, results, and analysis.
• Conclusions that summarise the main ideas of your research and draw conclusions.
• Appendices relevant to your UWE dissertation.
• Copies of any publications that came out of your study.

5. Introduction and Contextual Information

It is the introductory stage of your LLM dissertation and you need to discuss the main context of your work here. It sets the stage for your whole work, so you must write it perfectly. In case you need dissertation help online  for writing your dissertation, you can select a reliable company like The Academic Papers UK.

• The background of your study, including important problems, popular culture, and knowledge gaps.
• Your goals and purposes for the research.
• Details about your collaborations with organisations for resources, funding and knowledge, if any.

6. Body of Work

This is the central part where you discuss your literature review, if not added to the above introductory part, to note any gaps that your study attempts to fill. After that, discuss your research, methodology and findings. Here, you should discuss your approach and analysis, like what you did, and how you did it during UWE dissertation writing.

7. Conclusion

It is the last written part of your dissertation where you need to focus on summing up everything with a new insight. The conclusion aims to discuss your findings in the form of a summary, which also addresses the applicability of your research. Here, you should:

• Give an overview of the main conclusions drawn from your study.
• Indicate how you believe you meet the requirements for your degree.
• Describe any novel contributions to our understanding.

• Capital letters of your text should not be less than 2.0mm.
• 2 or 1.5 line spacing is required for body text.
