A dissertation is an academically developed and researched answer to a complex question or hypothesis, and it is a final academic and graduation requirement in partial fulfillment of EU Business School’s bachelor’s and MBA degrees. Bachelor students must submit a final dissertation of between 12,000 and 14,000 words after the completion of their coursework at EU Business School and defend it successfully before a Jury Panel.
It is a work of critical academic importance, since it reflects the knowledge that a student has accumulated over the course of the academic program. Additionally, it demonstrates the keen research and analytical skills of students; their specialisation; their ability to work independently; and their contribution to the body of existing knowledge.
