Hi all! Is anyone currently working on their dissertation or has recently completed it? I'd love to get some information, such as the required structure (in terms of report length, etc.) and details on how it is submitted or presented, if a presentation is required. If you have already attended the graduation ceremony, I'd love to hear about your experience—how long before the official date it was communicated, whether you received a list of subsidized accommodation options or had to search for accommodation on your own, etc. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. Best regards

Hi Noemi 

Regarding the required structure for the thesis, it will be communicated to you by your advisor via email chapter by chapter while giving you edits & adjustments as needed, for me that was the case.

  • For length it was 12k words in total, you can write more of course if you want.
  • a presentation is required yes, they call it VIVA, your advisor will share the template needed and you fill it out with your thesis's main pillars. 
  • after committee approves ur thesis that's when you submit it through the portal “basically submitting online is the last step!”.
  • Regarding graduation, it will be announced to you almost two months prior to the ceremony date, no information regarding the accommodation as it is something you handle and cover yourself, so they basically share with you a full agenda regarding the ceremony which in my case is 3 days long, some activities are optional to register for. 
  • Main graduation ceremony is 200$
  • Don't hesitate to connect on LinkedIn if you have further questions, I'd love to help :)

Type of research

Master in Public Health

When considering the kind of research to apply to education, several approaches can be beneficial:

Quantitative Research involves collecting and analyzing numerical data to understand trends, patterns, and relationships. Surveys, standardized tests, and statistical analyses are common methods used to evaluate educational outcomes and effectiveness.

Qualitative Research: This approach focuses on understanding the experiences and perspectives of students, teachers, and other stakeholders through interviews, focus groups, and observations. It provides deeper insights into the contextual factors affecting education.

Mixed-Methods Research: Combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches can provide a more comprehensive view of educational issues. This method allows for triangulation of data, enhancing the validity of research findings.

Action Research: Often conducted by educators themselves, this research focuses on improving practices within a specific educational setting. It involves cyclic processes of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting.

Case Studies: This in-depth exploration of a single case (e.g., a school, program, or educational strategy) can offer rich insights and allow for a detailed understanding of particular educational phenomena.

Longitudinal Studies: These studies track the same subjects over a long period, providing insights into developmental trends and the long-term effects of educational interventions.

Evaluation Research: This assesses the effectiveness of programs and interventions in educational settings, helping to determine what works and what doesn’t.

Selecting the right type of research often depends on the specific questions being asked, the context of the educational setting, and the desired outcomes of the research

Master In Construction Management

To become an HR Manager, start by getting a degree in HR, business, or something similar. You can also boost your chances with HR certifications like SHRM or PHR. After that, you’ll need a few years of experience in HR roles like an assistant or generalist.

As for the job itself, you’ll be handling things like hiring, employee relations, training, payroll, and making sure everything follows the law. You also need to be good with people, a great communicator, and able to solve problems. Plus, being tech-savvy and knowing HR software helps.

To move up, just keep learning, get involved in HR groups, and work on your leadership skills!
