Dissertation introduction help

Dissertation Introduction Help for UK Students

Your introduction is the first page your marker reads, and usually the last one you can finish properly. OnlineDissertationHelp gives UK students dissertation introduction help in three ways: we write it from your brief, rewrite the draft you already have, or fix it so it matches the dissertation you actually ended up writing.

  • Written from your brief
  • Rewrite of your draft
  • Matched to your conclusion

What does a dissertation introduction actually have to do?

Universities describe it as a short overview of what you are studying, why it matters and how you will go about it. The detail belongs in the chapters that follow. When we write yours, we build these five parts, each answering a question your marker is already asking.

  1. What is this about, and why now?

    Context

    We set the scene briefly and point to the key literature, leaving the depth for your literature review.

  2. Why does this study need to exist?

    Rationale and gap

    We state the problem or gap your project responds to, in the language of your subject.

  3. What exactly are you covering?

    Key terms and scope

    We define the terms your argument depends on and mark the limits of the project.

  4. What will you find out?

    Aims, objectives and question

    We write a research question and objectives you can answer, and that your later chapters do answer.

  5. How is the dissertation organised?

    Roadmap

    We outline your approach in brief and walk the reader through the chapters in your own order.

Where are you with your dissertation right now?

What we do depends on how far you have got. Most students who come to us are in one of these three places.

Just starting

You have not started writing

A short working introduction gives your project a direction, as long as you expect to revise it once your argument settles. We draft one around your question and aims, and we flag the points likely to change.

Most common

Your chapters are drafted

You now know what the introduction has to introduce, so we write it from what your chapters actually say, rather than from what you planned to say months ago.

Send us your chapters
Nearly done

Your opening and ending do not match

The introduction should set up the question your conclusion answers. We put the two side by side and rewrite until they agree. If the ending needs work too, see our dissertation conclusion help.

What can we do with your introduction?

If you searched for a dissertation introduction writing service in the UK, OnlineDissertationHelp is exactly that. Ask us for a full draft, a rewrite or a few fixes, and we work to what you need.

  • Write a new introduction from your title, brief and any notes.
  • Rewrite your draft while keeping your own ideas and sources.
  • Sharpen your aims, objectives and research question.
  • Cut an overlong background down to what the reader needs.
  • Check the introduction against your literature review so nothing is repeated.
  • Edit the language and referencing. For a full read-through, see proofreading and editing.

Does the introduction change by subject and level?

It can, depending on your subject

In some arts and humanities dissertations the introduction also covers the theoretical and methodological context, which other subjects keep for later chapters. Some departments like an opening hook, such as a current issue or a contested view, before the background begins. Your module handbook and supervisor come first, and we write to them.

  • Undergraduate
  • Master's
  • PhD

We cover all three levels. If you are writing a thesis, our PhD thesis help covers the wider project.

How long should the introduction be?

The university guides we checked do not set a figure, so the answer is whatever your handbook says. Tell us your total word count and we plan the introduction to fit.

Our free dissertation breakdown tool also splits a total word count across the chapters as a starting point.
