Your final read-through
What to check in the last weeks before you submit your dissertation.
Read the intro and conclusion side by side.
The last stretch is about checking, not rewriting. Keep big changes for earlier milestones.
- Check the word count against your handbook, including what counts.
- Read the introduction and conclusion together. Do they match?
- Check references and formatting against your department's style.
- Confirm the submission format and portal details with your department.
- Book a final session with your coach for any last questions.
Then submit with a little time to spare. Last-minute uploads are nobody's friend.
