Hi All,
I am new to the student room. I am a final year student at a UK university.
I was hoping I could get some help in generating some IT dissertation topic ideas.. I am a little lost confused and just mind blank at this moment. Unfortunately I only have till Friday to make a decision and that will be it.
I study Information technology management for business - that is my course.
So I've been told I would need to make a prototype/system as well as the write up of a dissertation. However I have no idea what to do, I was thinking on the lines of social media and how that impacts on a business.. but I'm not sure how to make that into a prototype or system even.
Some help and guidance would really be appreciated.. I am quite confused and lost at this moment.
Thank you so much for reading this post.

I just learnt about this method today but try looking at previous dissertations from your course. At the end should be a section that's called something like "Recommendations for Further Study". Is there something in there you could look at?
Or do what I did and think about what sort of work you're looking for after uni and write something that relates to that.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I'm thinking I might do an online booking system as I have to make a prototype as well as write my dissertation..

You're welcome. Your idea sounds good.
I've done loads today! Well, its only like 1600 words but its more than I've written in ages ... I am strangely motivated today!
I'm doing my literature review at the moment and I can see it is going to be VERY long ... I've got 4 'areas to review' and I'm halfway through the first one and have 600 words. Its probably going to be the longest one anyway, but how long would you say a literature review was? So far I have:
Introduction 1017
Research Questions 75
Lit review (so far) 502
I still have 4 chapters (3 of which involve data and methods and god knows what) a discussion and conclusion! All to be done in 12,000 words.
I'm beginning to feel like 12,000 is not enough!
Hope everyone else is doing well with theirs ... although I am expecting a deluge of I HATE IT to come my way :P

Right. Monday I am definitely starting to collect data and do research for my dissertation. I can't leave it till the last minute like I did my undergrad one!
Out of interest, does anyone know the major difference between a BSc dissertation and an MSc one?

BSc = Batchelor of Science
MSc = Master of Science
The second one sounds cooler, also BSc is an undergrad course whilst MSc is a postgraduate course.
I've collected loads of articles and journals and the like but haven't actually read any of them yet.
Still trying to work up the motivation to fill out my dissertation registration (it's due tomorrow!).Original post by avéry

I meant how much more in depth does the MSc one have to be compared to the BSc one? I've done my BSc one. Now beginning research for my MSc one. I have my topic, but not sure what I should do differently to differentiate it for an MSc level dissertation.

Haha. That does make more sense, you are doing an MSc after all!
I would assume that the MSc would include more research and be expected to be at a higher standard. Also, aren't some Masters completely independent research papers (i.e. no tutors?)?
I suppose your course leader is the best person to ask.
Feel a bit silly now!
Well, the time has come, whether I like it or not, for me to join this thread. 
Third year English Literature student, I will think of a better title by the end of the year but right now my working title is:
'The Fallen Woman': The Representation of Prostitution in Victorian Literature.
My first deadline (November 8th) is a 2000 word final proposal with chapter structure and annotated bibliography, I'm terrified!

Hi,
I'm doing a dissertation on whether a salary cap would be beneficial for english football from a fans perspective. Seeing if they differ depending on the team they support.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any journals or essential questions to include in my questionnaire when data collecting.
Thanks

I've finally chosen a topic.
What are the main factors that influence a passengers choice when choosing an airline?
I've completed 700/1500 of my research proposal. It's due next Friday.
Only got my lit review section left but haven't started reading yet. It's been difficult as I've spent the last 2 weeks in hospital so haven't had access to the material. Hoping to go back to uni this weekend and start.

Is any one doing a business/finance related dissertation? If so what's your question?
I'm really struggling on a question. Can any one help with some suggestions on a question I could do?

I cannot believe I'm in third year already and the dissertation I've been dreading since first year has arrived! I've done some research, am having meetings with my supervisor(s) and am all organised and on track but it's still the one piece of work I'm most nervous about - probably because it's 10,000 words and has twice as much value as my other modules, eek! At least I have a research question and have started notes and a bibliography. I'm studying English Language and Literature by the way.

There was a programme on Channel 4 (should still be available on catch up) called The Plane Crash or something which looked at where people sit on a plane and how it effected them during a crash.
Just thought that might be useful to you. Some people chose their seats based on how likely it is they think they'll survive in a crash.
