Students of JOURNALISM have a chance to come up with
their own dissertation. This may be both fascinating and challenging. You will
have an opportunity to write about a subject that you find interesting and want
to learn more about. But identifying a research subject is not always easy;
especially if you do not have a clue what to write about.
You will have to do some research to identify areas
and questions which have not been explored in the existing literature. But once
you have chosen your topic, the floor is yours. You can approach your research
from the angle you want and explore questions that you find interesting. This
being your piece of work you can pour your ideas, thought and heart out. After

Developing skills
You will possibly spend most of your final year
working on your dissertation but do not forget that you will also have other
course work to complete. This will require a great deal of planning and
organisation. You will have to learn how to prioritise your work and keep the
balance between your work and rest time. You will learn how to manage your time
effectively and will develop your critical thinking.
These are the transferable skills that many employers
are looking for. They will also add to your personal development and will help
you perform well at work and in everyday tasks.
Sense of belonging
The dissertation will become one of the most popular
discussion topics in thefinal year. You will realise that there are many others
who have similar concerns and questions like you. You can share ideas and
exchange guidance provided by your supervisors. This will strengthen the sense
of belonging and may help build connections with your course mates as a
department.
Satisfaction
Writing a dissertation is a rewarding experience; you will be proud of your achievements. You will conduct your independent research and will collect and analyse your own data. Your work will contribute to the existing research and you will gain specialised knowledge in your study area.
