Possible Dissertation Topics

I have spent today trying to work out dissertation topics (such a nice way to spend a Saturday). I am thinking about doing something on the conflicting relationship between freedom of expression and freedom of religion or whether International Law is effectively protecting individuals from the state.

Still not all that sure though.

Dissertation nightmare begins

I’m Andy and I’m a final year Law student at a university somewhere in Scotland. I am hoping that this blog will help me to get through the stress that is the dreaded dissertation.

My interest areas are wide and include Criminal, Immigration, Human Rights and Medical Law. As far as my dissertation is concerned I have ruled out Medical Law and I am leaning more towards topics relating to Human Rights and Immigration.

The new academic year has not yet began, but I have spent the whole summer stressing out over my dissertation and I am still topic less. Only piece of advice I have had to date came from a student who attempted to find a question for their dissertation after having written it – their advice was simply to choose a question before writing it (common sense I would have thought).
