- Don’t be too narrow.

Should I change my dissertation topic?
You can change your topic after you proposal. It will be more effort because you will have already read for the previous topic, but it does not mean you can’t change. Whilst doing your research you may find something you want to focus on instead of what you initially thought. That’s fine!
Does your dissertation topic matter?
The topic is important to YOU as it’s something that has/will keep your interest and energy going over the course of your dissertation journey. Your dissertation topic is not that important in landing a good job, rather you’ll likely look for work in your area of study, not the specific topic.
Do employers look at dissertation?
Employers aren’t likely to look at your dissertation as a knowledge credential. It’s far more likely you’ll need to learn quite a bit on the job regardless of how relevant your work is to your previous studies.
What happens if you fail your dissertation?
Failed Dissertation If you fail a dissertation, you will usually be given an opportunity to re-submit it by an agreed-upon date. As with a module failure, the marks awarded for a re-submitted dissertation will usually be capped at a bare pass level.
How many hours should you write?
However, you first have to consider how you write. If your writing flows and you edit later, you should take about 2 hours a day at least. If you stop, contemplate and carefully craft your work, the process takes longer. I myself write for 3-4 hours at a time, and I don’t plan by words, I recommend planning by ideas.
