The King's Careers Blog

We're here to help you, whether you are in the discover, focus or action phase of your career journey., it’s dissertation time(line).

Written by Silje Undlien, Third Year War Studies undergraduate at King’s College London & Student Enquiries Officer at King’s Careers & Employability.

The dissertation. Whether you’re an undergraduate or postgraduate student at King’s, it’s something you have to go through as part of your degree. You might consider it one of the most important challenges of your academic career. Or it’s just one of those things you know you have to get done.  Most students start off with a great deal of enthusiasm about their dissertation, but the scale of the project can easily throw them to despair. Whatever you might be feeling about writing your dissertation, it’s important that you discover how to devise and stick to a work schedule. Often, it’s the sticking to that will create problems. So how do I go about creating a dissertation timeline or work schedule, and why should I have a timeline at all?

The short answer is that I can’t really give you an answer. No single way of creating a dissertation timeline or work schedule will satisfy the needs and methods of every student. Everyone has their own way of doing things! But being organised is still key. You need to be realistic about your deadline and, more importantly, your time management skills. So, to get started, here are some questions to ask yourself:

• What type of dissertation am I writing?
• Am I an undergraduate or postgraduate student?
• How much time do I have to write my dissertation?
• How is my course organised? Am I doing my dissertation alongside other modules and commitments?
• Am I choosing my own topic? Or is my department choosing the project for me? Perhaps it’s a module-based project?
• What am I expecting from myself?

All of this will impact on how your dissertation research might progress. Especially important is realising just how much time you really have to get your project done. If you’re an undergraduate student with modules and coursework to do alongside your dissertation, it’s easy to get lost in the idea that you have a full year to write your dissertation. (Trust me, I’ve been there!) Realistically, however, you will only have a few months. Your full year is actually just an academic year. And from this academic year you’ll need to factor in time off, holidays, illness, part-time work, and all the other commitments you might have going on in and alongside your course. It might be the most general tip I can give you, but it’s an important one: Get started ASAP!

The first step is to learn your methods. One of our Marketing Assistants, currently writing her postgraduate dissertation, recently said: “You really do need to learn your methods. I’m still getting to know mine.” So ask yourself: How do I normally organise my work? What are my habits, good or bad? Your dissertation is probably going to be your biggest project yet, and, though you might be telling yourself that you’ll get rid of all your bad work habits, chances are you’ll fall into a similar routine or pattern of organising and doing your work to what you’ve done before. Have you normally been the last-minute essay writer? Establishing your own methods of studying is the first step to getting organised. I’m not saying that you should write your dissertation last minute, even if that’s your established method of getting work done. All I’m trying to point out is that you’ll be better-equipped to deal with the big task of writing your dissertation if you know yourself, and, importantly, if you create a work schedule which accommodates this knowledge about yourself, your work ethic, and your time management skills. It’s all about realistic planning…

So, how can I get organised? You’ll need to find a system that works for you. The most important thing is to find a way to write down a list of tasks or action points. Some people might prefer to set vague deadlines, while others will create a ‘Study Matrix’ (see example below) with detailed information abut how and when things are going to get done. Point is, it can be as detailed (or not detailed) as you like. It might be a good idea to plan out when you’ll have your meetings with your supervisor, and to pin-point what you’d like to discuss in each meeting. Ask your supervisor to help you create a set of action points after each meeting, so that you have a rough idea of what you need to do before the next one. If you feel like your supervisor is not pushing you enough; ask them to! (Stay tuned for a more detailed blog post about how to communicate with your supervisor!)

I mentioned before that finding a system can often be less problematic than making yourself stick to it. (Cheers to you, fellow procrastinators!) So what can I do to stay organised?  First of all, you should identify and deal with procrastination. Find out why you procrastinate and what you might do to avoid it. You might want to minimize distractions, ask someone to check up on you, or create a reward system. You should also find out in what kind of environment you work best. How, when, and where do I best stay focused? You can also try using Tomato Timer , a time management technique created for a more productive way to work and study. Secondly, it’s important to have emergency plans. What happens and what will I do if I experience unexpected delays? Staying organised is also about understanding that things are not going to go just the way you planned it to, and to find ways to deal with this without losing sight of the end goal.

On a final note, remember to schedule enough time for proof-reading and touch-ups, to edit with fresh eyes, and to make lots of backups as you go! It will also be useful to locate any departmental information or guidelines for dissertation-writing. So there you have it! It’s dissertation time!

King's College London - Thesis Template in Markdown

Markdown template for king's college london phd thesis.

This repository contains a Markdown template that conforms to King's College London's PhD guidelines . It's a very slightly modified version of Tom Pollard's template . I'd like to thank him for sharing his work.

You can see an example PDF here .

Why Markdown?

Markdown is a powerful text formatting syntax. It has many benefits:

• It's fully portable . You and your friends can edit a Markdown file on any text application on any operating system. No more compatibility errors.
• It's easy to use . It looks like text, not like code. The syntax is very simple and can be learnt in a single day. If you can write an email, you can use Markdown.
• It's worry-free . You focus on your text and Markdown takes care of the formatting by itself.
• It's easy to track changes . Markdown is pure text, so it works nicely with version control software such as Git or Subversion.
• It's very flexible . You can convert a Markdown document to DOC, PDF, HTML, LaTeX, ePub, among other formats. All that with a single line of code.

As John Gruber says , the best way to learn Markdown's syntax is simply to look at a Markdown-formatted document. This is how Markdown handles headers:

This is italic . This is bold .

Welcome to King's College London .

Easy, isn't it? Please visit John Gruber's page to know more about Markdown. This tutorial is a good place to learn the basics of the language and this cheatsheet is a great reference.

Why should I not use Markdown?

Tom ranks some reasons why Markdown is not (yet) perfect:

There are some minor annoyances: if you haven't worked with Markdown before then you'll find yourself referring to the style-guide fairly often at first. it isn't possible to add a short caption to figures and tables. This means that /listoftables and /listoffigures include the long-caption, which probably isn't what you want. If you want to include the list of tables and list of figures, then you have to write them manually. all of the style documents in this framework could be improved. The PDF output is acceptable as it is, but HTML and Word need work if you plan to use these formats.

But they're indeed minor annoyances. The pros surely outweigh the cons :)

What do I need to write my thesis using this template?

First, fork or download this repository.

Then, install a simple text editor. It's very likely that you already have one. Anything that can edit a .txt file will do the job ( Notepad , gedit , etc). You can also use an online editor if you prefer. Edit the files in the source directory, save them as .md and you're already writing your thesis. Mathematical formulas can be typed using LaTeX code, e.g., $ y = \beta_{0} + \beta_{1} x + \epsilon $

Add your references to references.bib . If you're using Google Scholar, click on "Cite" below the article link and choose "Import into BibTeX". An example: suppose you want to cite John Nash's "Non-cooperative games" article. If you search for the paper on Google Scholar you will see something like this:

Just copy and paste the text onto the .bib file and you're done. To cite Nash's paper in your thesis, just type [@nash1951non] . More about citations here .

Finally, you'll need LaTeX and Pandoc to convert your Markdown output to pdf. Go to the folder that contains "Makefile" and type make pdf at your command line. Your pdf will be on the "output" folder.

Some important reminders from Tom:

each chapter must finish with at least one blank line, otherwise the header of the following chapter may not be picked up. add two spaces at the end of a line to force a line break. the template uses John Macfarlane's Pandoc to generate the output documents. Refer to this page for Markdown formatting guidelines. PDFs are generated using the Latex templates in the style directory. Fonts etc can be changed in the tex templates. To change the citation style, just overwrite ref_format.csl with the new style. Style files can be obtained from citationstyles.org/

Changes to the original template

I've added some minor changes to the original repository:

• References follow the Chicago style .
• King's logo added to the title page
• Fonts were changed to Libertine . You can download the font here
• Adjusted vertical space throughout the file (quite subjectively)
• Added a different text for the statement of academic integrity
• Commands to prevent hyphenation

All changes can be easily reverted if necessary. For instance, if you want to use the default Computer Modern font instead of Libertine, just add % before \usepackage[osf]{libertine} in preamble.tex .

Comments and suggestions

Feel free to send me a message if you find any mistake or have any suggestion to improve this repository. Once again, thanks to Tom Pollard for providing his template. I hope this repository is useful and I wish you a good time at King's :)

Author-Date? Footnotes? What does this mean?

These terms refer to how and where a citation appears in your work. Author-Date means the citation appears as a surname and year, Footnotes means the citation appears in a footnote at the end of the page, linked to your work by a small superscript number, and Numbered means that citations appear sequentially through the text.

Author-Date (often called Harvard), Footnotes and Numbered both encompass many hundreds of styles in use throughout Academia. They could be seen as 'genres' rather than styles in their own right.

At King's we have chosen three, one from each genre:

• Our Author-Date style is  APA 
• Our Footnotes style is  Chicago 
• Our Numbered style is Vancouver

We also have a Footnotes style specifically for Law:

• Our Footnotes style for Law is Oscola

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Referencing

King's has produced new student guidance on the use of generative AI tools. Students are not expected to reference generative AI but are expected to acknowledge its use through a statement. Please see the central Student Guidance for details. 

Which one should you use?

Check with your tutors and departments if you aren't sure which referencing style you're expected to use when writing your academic assignments.

Every referencing style in use at King's can be found as standard in almost every piece of referencing software available, and they're kept up to date by their respective organisations.

This article provides an overview of the 7-day arrangements that can be made for disabled students when completing coursework. Students will be able to request up to 7 days of additional time to complete assessed coursework. 

This also includes: 

• Essays 
• Dissertations 

Important to know:  This adjustment cannot be made for assessments with short deadlines (less than 3 weeks between assessment details provided and the submission deadline). Similarly, it can't be made for written exams (face-to-face and online).

How can I apply for the 7-day extensions for coursework assessments? 

The first step is to make sure the 7-day extensions are added to your Personalised Assessment Arrangement (PAA). To do this: 

• Make sure you have a Personalised Assessment Arrangement (PAA). If you don't have a PAA, please refer to our article  Guidance for applying for Personalised Assessment Arrangements (PAA) .
• Go to your PAA application form on Student Records  and select the '7-day extension provision'.
• When this is approved by the PAA panel, you'll have the option to request 7-day extensions for your assessments via the Mitigating Circumstances Form.

Important to know: The Examinations Office are not able to help with 7-day extension queries after the PAA application stage. Please ask for help within your department instead.

How do I submit a request for the 7 day extension?

• Log on to  Student Records ;
• Select ‘Student Home Page’ within the banner at the top of the homepage;
• Select ‘My Mitigating Circumstances’ within the ‘My Modules’ area;
• Select ‘New Request’ within the ‘Submit a new Mitigating Circumstances request’ area;
• Select the “Extension Granted by PAA” option from the 'Nature of Circumstances' drop-down list;
• Fill in the details on the form, as applicable. 

You will need to complete these steps each time you want to request a 7-day extension for a coursework assessment.

Common questions about the application process

I'm a King's Online student, can I apply for PAA and 7-day coursework extensions? 

All disabled students can apply for 7-day coursework extensions. Please note that extensions are not always possible for assessments with short time frames. To learn more about the ways we support disabled students, please read our article  An overview of the provisions and support you can access for your disability at King's .

Why can't I select a 7-day extension request in the Mitigating Circumstances form? 

Before completing the Mitigating Circumstances Form, you need to apply for the 7-day extension via an application for Personalised Assessments Arrangements (PAA).

Please apply for all provisions that may be required. Have a look at our article  What are Personalised Assessment Arrangements (PAA)?  for further guidance.

I’ve submitted my application for PAA; why can’t I see the option to select a 7-day extension within my Mitigating Circumstances form?  

If you're not able to request a 7-day extension request in your Mitigating Circumstances form, your application for PAA may still be under review. To check the status of your application, please email the Examinations Office . 

Important to know:  For guidance on what to expect once you’ve applied for PAA, please read our article  After you have applied for Personalised Assessment Arrangements (PAA) .​​​​

Is there a restriction on how many requests I can make for a 7-day extension?  

You can only request one 7-day extension per assessment.

There's no restriction on requesting 7-day extensions for different coursework assessments.

If you request a 7-day extension and find that you need more than the 7 additional days, you’ll need to submit another Mitigating Circumstances form, and select another category. You'll need to provide an explanation of your circumstances and supporting evidence.    

Important to know:  Some academic departments may offer you a short extension that is longer than  the approved  seven days .  This may be for administrative reasons, or to keep within their assessment cycles, but you are able to hand in your work at any point during the agreed extension time. ​​​​​​

If 7-day extensions can only be applied to assessments where completion time/deadlines are set at least three weeks in advance, what about other assessments with shorter timings? 

E xtra time is available for timed tests and examinations, but assessments with short time frames (including 24-hour online examinations) usually have additional time built in, so that it is not necessary to add any further time for disabled students. ​​​​​​

Can I request a 7-day extension for a dissertation?  

Yes, you  are able to  request a  7-day  extension for a dissertation.

Can I request a 7-day extension for a presentation?  

This would not normally be appropriate, but if you are required to submit your presentation in a written format then you can request a 7-day extension for it.  

Important to know:  Verbal presentation deadlines can't be extended under this arrangement. You should speak to your personal tutor if you will not be able to present at the time given. To find out how to contact your personal tutor, read our article Who is my personal tutor & what do they do?

My tutor has set a task to complete for next week and won’t provide an extension, why is this? 

Assessments with short time frames (see above) are not covered by the 7-day extension arrangement. Assessments with short time frames are set with enough time for all students to complete them, including those who need extra time compared to others.   ​​​​​​
