In many Bachelor and Masters Subjects, students will commonly be required to complete an Interim Report. The University will review the Interim Report to gauge the student’s achievements to date and ensure that they are making adequate progress toward the final dissertation.

What is the Interim Report?

This assignment is comprised of a written report that summarises the student’s progress on their chosen project. Students will have already completed a Project Proposal and a Project Specification, which outline the intended research, practical procedures and outcomes. The dissertation Interim Report is essentially a process of reviewing and updating these documents and noting any significant changes to your project. The Interim Report is very similar to the presentations required in ‘upgrade panels’ for PhD students, except that at the Masters level students are not expected to show progress toward a full doctoral thesis.

How do I Create a Dissertation Interim Report?

The Interim Report is usually about 20 pages in length, and it is usually submitted in the spring of your first year of study. The typical Interim Report structure includes the following items:

Project Summary and Project Specifications

These may be the same as the documents that were submitted at the start of your degree programme. The Project Summary is a brief description of your proposed project, while the Project Specification provides a more detailed account of your intended methods and likely results. If any significant changes have been made to your project, these should be reflected in an updated Summary and Specification.

Updated Table of Contents

This may already be contained in the Project Specification Report, but if not then the Interim Report should include an up to date Table of Contents. In addition, it is helpful to include 1-2 sentences that describe the content of each chapter.

Literature Review

The Interim Report is usually accompanied by a full literature review, which will form the basis of a dissertation chapter. Like all literature reviews, it should provide an overview of the theories and practices that are most relevant to your own work. It is often organised thematically and will demonstrate the student’s ability to contextualise their project within the recent advances in their field. This will probably be the longest section of the Interim Report.

Current Progress

This section of the Dissertation Interim Report will outline what you have achieved so far. It may include mentions of the background research you’ve undertaken, skills training you’ve received, and any practical work you’ve done toward completing your project.

Obstacles to Progress

In this part of the Interim Report, students should note down any difficulties they’ve encountered so far. It should also contain some details of how the student plans to confront these challenges, whether through changes to the research plan or minor adjustments to the overall project. The University is particularly interested in this section of the Interim Report, as they want to ensure the student’s successful completion of the degree.

Planned Methodology

For most degree programmes students will also need to outline their research strategy for the remainder of the dissertation work. This may focus primarily on text-based research or it may require practical lab work. Regardless, the student should justify their chosen methodology and explain how it will adequately address the research question.

Future Project Timeline

This section details the student’s plan of action for the remainder of the degree, and is usually broken down into a month-by-month timeline. You should include all the work that is relevant to completing the dissertation, including research, project development, chapter writing and lab activities. You might also include plans for additional skill training, funding bids, and conference presentations.
