Writing a Dissertation Abstract That Examiners Actually Read
Most UK dissertation abstracts are forgettable. Here's the five-sentence template that isn't.
Your abstract is usually 250–300 words. Examiners read it twice - once before the dissertation, once after. It needs to satisfy both readings.
The five-sentence template
1. The problem/topic and why it matters. 2. The research question. 3. The methodology. 4. The key findings. 5. The contribution and implication. No background fluff, no first-person padding.
