Dear MSc Dissertation Students,
Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to confirm the word count policy for the MSc dissertation due next Thursday, 7th August 2025.
As per the dissertation guidance, the only text excluded from the word count is:
- References
- Numerical data
- Labels of graphs and figures
- Appendix items
This means that the table of contents and abstract are included in the word count.
Please also see attached the Dissertation Assessment Guidance for more guidance.
If you have any further questions please contact your Dissertation Supervisor or the Dissertation Lead: Meg.
Good luck!
Laksha
