When you're looking at choosing a dissertation topic, this is generally going to be through a choice made by you and your lecturer/professor. Most often, students, when they are thinking about a dissertation topic, should attempt to narrow down their topic to one that is specific and can adequately researched. However, the opposite is commonly true, as many lecturers sometimes feel that students want to research the world when they are thinking about a topic on which to write their dissertation research paper. When you are looking at the different topics that may be available, you will want to choose a topic that is covered in academia. The reason behind this is so that your supervisor will be able to comment and advise you during the process of you completing the research project. If you chose an area that is off topic or confusing, then you may be heading to a point where you really don't want to go. Your professor/supervisor will be able to best advise you of what you should do and where you will need to change direction. If you are on a management degree and have a keen interest in marketing on your course, then choosing a topic of researching women and the effects of Beauty products, in relation to brand loyalty, wouldn't be a good idea. Even choosing the 25-35 year olds category, who reside in the North West (of England) would still mean too broad of a topic, but will all be helpful when choosing a topic for your proposal. You should also look for a dissertation research topic that you are interested in and something that you have at least basic knowledge of. If you don't have at least some interest in the topic then you could become bored easily and therefore, not be able to complete the paper. Also, you will probably be like many other individuals who crave the aspect of learning something new. When you are considering the topic of your dissertation research project, you are not looking at the topic to be so specific as to be set in stone. You are looking to generate a foundation to the research topic and not set it in stone. After you have discussed the topic with your supervisor, then you should be able to write a hypothesis and present that for approval. You will most probably be doing a lot of thinking at this stage and be discussing the topic of your dissertation not only with your supervisor, but also with friends and family to get their point of view on what you are attempting to research. When you are planning your topic, you will want to ensure you keep your topic on track, whether this is through the planning, proposal or early dissertation writing process. If you want to be able to understand where you want to be at each stage and if you have reached that point, then you will need to ensure you are aware of your topic and paper. Being consciously in control of your research project and written dissertation paper will help you in the final stages when you are collating all of the results and analyzing what limitations were in the dissertation study.
