1. Introduction
前言

The research project/dissertation is a very important part of your Master’s degree. It is an opportunity to learn and practise researching and writing skills, which you will need in your career. It is the part of the programme  where  you can apply the analytical  and  problem-solving  techniques  you  have acquired  during  your  studies to pursue a specialist interest in greater depth. Students find the project demanding but at the same time one of the most rewarding aspects of their Master’s.

The  purpose  of  this  guide  is  to  help  you  approach  your  dissertation  effectively. Every project is different: there is no single right way, but many wrong ways to do research. However, with clarity of purpose, careful planning and good organisation, you will save time and achieve more.#p#分页标题#e#
本指南的目的是帮助你有效地接近你的论文。每个项目不同的是：有没有一个正确的方式，但许多错误的方法做研究。然而，明确的目的，仔细的规划和良好的组织，你会节省时间，实现更多功能。

If  you  have  a  problem  once  you  have  begun  your  project,  your  supervisor  will  be the  first  person  to  contact  on  many  issues.  However,  administrative  problems should  be  referred  to  the  School  of  Management  Reception,  and  any  further academic problems should be brought to the attention of the Programme Director. Please  note  that  dissertations  have  to  be  prepared by  the  deadlines  set  by  the School of Management and will only be deferred in extenuating circumstances and on the judgement of the Director of Graduate Studies.
一旦你开始你的项目如果有一个问题，你的论文导师将是解决许多问题上的第一人联系。然而，行政的问题应交由学校管理接待，任何进一步的学术问题，应提请注意课程主任。请注意，学位论文必须由管理学院设置的最后期限，并只准备在情有可原的情况和研究生课程主任的判断下会推迟。
