2.5 Presentation and Submission of Essays and Dissertations
Essays and the dissertation should be submitted to the MPhil Office on the prescribed dates,
as follows:
Part I: Two copies of each essay, stapled or soft bound;
Part II: Two bound copies of the dissertation and a labelled CD containing an
electronic version of the dissertation (so that if necessary the word count
may be independently verified). The dissertation may be spiral bound or in
a plastic folder, but must be sufficiently secure as to be durable. If you
wish to submit it with a more solid binding, there are good services run by
the University Reprographics Centre (Old Schools) and the Graduate
Students’ Union.
Essays and dissertations must be typed on one side of A4 paper, one-and-a-half or doublespaced,
in a typeface of 11 or 12 point font.
• The title page of your dissertation should contain Title, Name, College, Date (optional)
and Declaration stating 'This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Master of
Philosophy.'
• There should be a declaration in the Preface stating: ‘This dissertation is the result of
my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration
except where specifically indicated in the text’.
• Please number the pages of the dissertation.
• The dissertation must include a bibliography of all (and only) works cited.
Important points in relation to the word limit:
• The word count includes appendices and statistical tables at 150 words per table, but
excludes footnotes, references and bibliography. No penalty will be imposed for an
excess of 50 words (for an essay) or 150 (for a dissertation) over the maximum word
limit, but this allowance should not be abused. The MPhil sub-committee acting as a
Board of Examiners has the discretion to penalise essays/dissertations which exceed the
14
