Writing up dissertation

Just have a quick question, does anyone know what chapters to start writing a literature based dissertation? For Undergraduate

I have been told so many things and I just want to make my dissertation process as comfortable as possible as well as organised. Just going into year 3 and the aim is organisation.

There is no fixed list for a dissertation, it is an individual research project and tells a unique story so it is to an extent up to the author to structure how they feel is appropriate. A good way to get a feel is to read other (good) examples of dissertations on similar topics.

I assume by literature based dissertation, this means you intend to do a “review style analysis” rather than primary analysis. Review papers are very common & you can see lots of review papers in journals.

there is some things you really expect in all dissertations:
- introduction
- literature review
- thesis objectives
- methodology
- results
- discussion
- conclusions.
