You’ve written your results—now what? Many students hit a wall when it comes to writing the discussions chapter of their dissertation or thesis. But this chapter isn’t just another hurdle—it’s the section that can push your work from a Pass to a Merit, or even a Distinction. In this video, I break down exactly how to write a strong, impactful discussions section for your Masters or PhD research.
I’m Ken, and I teach research at two UK universities while also running a business helping Masters and PhD students make sense of academic research. If you’re trying to figure out what the discussions section is really about, what to include, and how to structure it, you’re in the right place.
We’ll cover:
0:34 What the discussions section actually is and why it matters
02:00 What to include in your discussions
06:52 How to write and structure your discussions section
Whether you're struggling to find your angle, unsure how to connect theory and findings, or simply overwhelmed by how much goes into this one chapter—this video will help you find clarity and direction.
