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.
該研究項(xiàng)目/dissertation是碩士學(xué)位一個(gè)非常重要的部分。這是在你的職業(yè)生涯中需要學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。這是該計(jì)劃的一部分，在那里你可以應(yīng)用的分析和解決問(wèn)題的技巧，你已經(jīng)在您的研究中獲得，追求更深入的專業(yè)興趣。學(xué)生找到項(xiàng)目的要求，但同時(shí)碩士最有意義的方面之一。

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#分頁(yè)標(biāo)題#e#
本指南的目的是幫助你有效地接近你的dissertation。每個(gè)項(xiàng)目不同的是：有沒(méi)有一個(gè)正確的方式，但許多錯(cuò)誤的方法做研究。然而，明確的目的，仔細(xì)的規(guī)劃和良好的組織，你會(huì)節(jié)省時(shí)間，實(shí)現(xiàn)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.
一旦你開(kāi)始你的項(xiàng)目如果有一個(gè)問(wèn)題，你的dissertation導(dǎo)師將是解決許多問(wèn)題上的第一人聯(lián)系。然而，行政的問(wèn)題應(yīng)交由學(xué)校管理接待，任何進(jìn)一步的學(xué)術(shù)問(wèn)題，應(yīng)提請(qǐng)注意課程主任。請(qǐng)注意，學(xué)位dissertation必須由管理學(xué)院設(shè)置的最后期限，并只準(zhǔn)備在情有可原的情況和研究生課程主任的判斷下會(huì)推遲。
 
2. The Nature of the Project
  項(xiàng)目性質(zhì)

The dissertation project is not intended to be an original contribution to knowledge, but it should demonstrate your ability to collect data systematically, organise your findings, and ensure that your research results are presented in a cogent and clear manner.
dissertation項(xiàng)目目的不在于知識(shí)的原創(chuàng)性貢獻(xiàn)，但它應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)出你的能力，系統(tǒng)地收集資料，整理調(diào)查結(jié)果，并確保你的研究結(jié)果存在說(shuō)服力和明確的態(tài)度。
The  project  should  demonstrate  both  the  technical  knowledge  that  you  have acquired  throughout  the  Master’s  degree  programme  and  also  the  ability  to integrate knowledge from different subject areas in order to apply it analytically to an academic but business-related problem.
這個(gè)項(xiàng)目應(yīng)該演示了這兩種技術(shù)知識(shí),您獲得了整個(gè)碩士學(xué)位課程,也能將知識(shí)從不同的學(xué)科領(lǐng)域?yàn)榱藨?yīng)用它分析一個(gè)學(xué)術(shù)但業(yè)務(wù)相關(guān)的問(wèn)題。
