Consider the Word Count While Selecting a Dissertation Topic

Sharpen the topic so that the whole report answers fully to the research question. Here’s a list of the expected number of words for the various dissertation levels.

  • Undergraduate dissertations are usually 8,000 to 15,000 words long.
  • A typical master’s research report has 12,000 – 50,000
  • An average PhD dissertation is book-long (from 70,000 up to 100,000 words).

Write in the 1st Person Voice

The general preference nowadays is to write accounting dissertations in the first person narrative voice. If you’re solo in the research, use “I” instead of the editorial “we”.

Important Note

Keep the language formal. Stick to citation and referencing norms. Above all, communicate concisely with your target audience.

Grading Metrics for Accounting Dissertations

Dissertations are mostly blind double-marked. Each assessor judges the paper independently, then they convene to award the final definitive grade.

This is how instructors grade your dissertation:

  • 85 – 100 Points: Outstanding research potential. Exceptionally high level of topic understanding.

(Most of the students we assist score within this bracket!)

  • 70 – 84.99 Points: Excellent research capabilities. Top topical competence.

This is the threshold grade for our accounting dissertation writing service.

  • 60 Points to 69.99 Points: There’s evidence of some independence of thought and an attempt at creativity.
  • If you score between 50 and 59.99 points, the assessor is telling you accuracy of facts and originality are missing. You, however, have a sound understanding of the research topic.
