Programme Structure
Assessment
Within our Institute for Social and Economic Research, our students invest time mainly working on their thesis under the supervision of one or two researchers. Most of the theses in ISER are organised in three main chapters, plus introduction and conclusions. Ideally, you should produce a complete draft of a new main chapter by the end of each academic year.
If your chapter is judged of enough good quality, you can progress to the following year.
You can decide to structure your thesis differently, if needed, but you should discuss and agree the structure with your supervisor.
