Dissertation Topic & Research Gap Support
Coaching to move from a broad interest to a defensible, feasible dissertation topic: locating a real gap, testing it against your time, data and skills, and presenting it in a short concept note.
Topic & Research Planning
Early decisions shape every later chapter. Planning support helps you choose a topic you can study, justify its gap, and phrase questions or hypotheses that your design can actually answer.
Choosing within topic & research planning
Planning usually involves two linked problems. The first is the topic: is there a real gap, and can you access the data, participants and skills needed within your timeline? The second is the question: is it specific, answerable and aligned with a method? Students often try to solve the second before the first, and end up with polished questions about an infeasible topic.
If you are still choosing what to study, start with topic and gap support. If your topic is agreed but your questions, objectives or hypotheses are being questioned, go straight to the research questions service.
